Z4 loads alphas into spotlight

Many alphas from Zbrush alpha library as made as a ‘texture’ in ZB3 you could click them they would load into texture pallet and then make alfa out of it , now they are double click they load into canvas with Spotlight even if it’s off.

And how to make Lightbox on top like in Z4 ?

Hold Shift and double-click the Lightbox thumbnail to load a texture into the Texture palette. If the image is grayscale it will be loaded into the Alpha palette.

Yes, but there is no idea to recognize, if they are an alpha or a texture, many textures from Zbrush alpha library look like alphas.

So using shift double click is not a solution because there is no way to find if ‘alpha’ is alpha and will load with just double click or ‘texture’ and i have to shift+double click.

Now to make absolutly sure alphas from Zbrush alpha library won’t load as Spotlight I would have to shift+double click each of them to make a texture and then make an alpha of it.It’s breaking workflow.

If the images are one channel grayscale they will load into the Alpha palette. Three channel grayscale images will load as Textures.
