DP0010: The Alpha channel of my overlay from Photoshop does not show properly in camera view after imported into Digital Pro.

Glossary
Transparency Type: This option is used to calculate the multiplication of the Alpha Channel based on which alpha background type is used (Black, White or Transparent)
Modules Properties: This is the module information that contains all the configurations of the module that are used in the Network. You can view this information from the "Module Properties" view by selecting the "Read Module" in the network or simply click the yellow square button of the Read Module from the network.

There are two ways of getting the transparency.

Method 1. Toon Boom Digital Pro uses "pre-multiplied with black" by default. So when you create your overlay and the alpha of your overlay, use the Alpha Channel with black because the default type in Photoshop is white.

Method 2. You can use the option of the Transparency type in the "Module Properties" of the Read Module. The default is black and you can change it to white if it is from Photoshop. It is not always the case that a white background is used for alpha channel since some file types are also using its own default transparency type (ex, .png is using black by default I believe). So the best way is to use all 4 options of Transparency Type ("Black", "Straight (transparent)", "White" and "Clamp Color to Alpha") to have a best result. With this option available, you do not have to go back to Photoshop and change the transparent background.
