Importing Images as Planes help (using supported plugin) Alpha Layers

Artistic Support Materials and Textures

Hello, I am importing images as planes help (using supported plugin) with a .tif and .png that an alpha layer.

When the image comes in the alpha automatically goes black on the plane. How do I turn this part transparent?

I can’t use cycles render, as my cpu is not fast enough.

Thanks so much for the help.

Select the plane and turn on the material transparency, set the alpha to zero, in the texture settings enable use alpha and set the texture to influence the alpha

or

Enable ’ Use Alpha’ and transparency when you import the image
