Whats the differents between PNG, JPG, TIF (Importing Images)

Yes silly question. I know in the spotlight view box I can only see JPGs, TIFs come up blank.

I saw that zbrush can read PNGs it see them as but it won’t load them into the alpha channel i can load a JPG but not a png even though it says it will load it. This makes for a long day since I spent most of it cleaning up textures for new brushes saving PNGs

Alphas>Import>picking image

PNG - NO just doesn’t load
BMP - Error while trying to load file
JPG - load fine just no alpha
TIF - Error Unable to read file (I re-saved and something new same message)
PSD - Load Fine
TGA - its listed in the group Images, but not on the subgroup - doesn’t show in viewer

Do PNG work? or do I need to save them all out as something else? any recommendations.

zbrush can only read .psd .bmp .jpg and .tif to my knowledge.

Having the same problem. I just convert everything into jpegs or flat psd files.
