I was just curious if there was a place to bring in alpha stamps for texture. The import option didn’t seem to do anything for me. ---

> The import option didn’t seem to do anything for me. Hmm it should normally work, what was the format of the textures you tried to import? Ideally a video or screenshots so that I could get a better understanding of the issue. Update: for clarification, this is the place where you can import alphas: ![Sans titre](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/1X/77f1bf8a9f871fa1456264adfb8ac8554db04043.png) ---

Officially only .png, .jpg, .hdr and .exr are supported. Maybe some .tga and .bmp as well. Maybe I’ll add other formats in the future. ---

Can you record a quick video or show some screenshots so that I can tell you where the issue is? Ideally starting from procreate by showing the layers. ---

I am sorry that I reactivated this very old thread. Wished my deleted post would get this thread back where it belongs. As it is o. Top now anyway, I can just contribute that in very rare cases I had to resave a jpg in a drawing app before it was excepted. I guess it was mainly with pics from the web though.
