Opacity icon

Importing Images

There are multiple ways to bring existing images into Opacity. Once you have your image, you can save it as any of the supported formats.

Importing Images:

The easiest way to import a file into an existing image is to drag its icon from the Finder into the canvas of an existing image in Opacity. This will import the image into the current layer. You can achieve the same thing by selecting the Image > Insert File menu item and selecting the image you want.

For both approaches, the supported file formats (in addition to Opacity's supported formats) are the following:

PostScript image

JPEG 2000 image

Adobe Photoshop document

Adobe Illustrator document

X bitmap image

Microsoft Cursor

TGA image

Silicon Graphics image (SGI image)

QuickTime image

FlashPix image

MacPaint image

OpenEXR image

Radiance image

Many common image formats can also be imported by choosing Open and selecting the image file.
