Hello all, I want my project to be of a small fill size. I have a few questions if anybody would be so kind enough to share their knowledge with me. 1. What is the best format for images ? 2. What is the best format to import an image with background transparent?? 3. is it possible to make a projector with a transparent background, for example : an mp3 player like the windows media player in small mode? Cheers Jon I have tried many file formats for my images, i just want different opinions!!
