Can no longer colour bitmaps or import them with transparent backgrounds in version 28.5.

Bitmaps now appear as it they were a JPEG when opened or imported into a new AI document.

Had to rollback the update to an older version.

You can drag the BMP file from PShop into Illustrator to keep the transparent background. But Placing it in Ill leaves you with a white background. I, too, just noticed this recent change.

That works, probably because the BMP is converted to .tif

Tif or psd works as a workaround.
