Let's not overcomplicate this. Poser sometimes exports PNG with a reversed alpha channel. Period. I use the PNG format a lot. 24-bit. If the alpha channel is reversed (which I can tell from thumbnail view in XP) I just open it in Photopaint and invert the mask and resave. No problem. Not all methods of saving PNG from Poser invert the alpha. Depends on if it is (1)animation frame (2)export or (3)saving the image with the pz3. Nothing wrong with using the PNG format. PS I love posting to threads that are a day old here. Nobody will ever see it. LOL
