Correct answer MatHayward

We are now accepting PNG files with transparent backgrounds from contributors. These file types are not yet available for download from customers while we are building out the collection. The files you submit as PNG will be put online as JPG files with a white background until the switch is flipped and the feature goes live. These PNG images with transparent backgrounds will be available to license as both JPG or PNG by customers.

 

We are still a month or two out from going live with the PNG downloads. Thanks for your patience. 

 

Thanks,

Sorry, we did not address the PNG issue:

I'm confident that your JPEG does not show cutout errors like this.

 

IMHO, the pyramid is also at least a foreign body here.

@MatHayward Is this meant to be used for digitally created illustrations or for photos such as models and photographed objects?

Yes, both.

 

Thanks for the question,

And it was my understanding that illustrations were desired to be submitted as vectors, I'm surprised this was accepted as a .jpeg.  I don't mind being corrected on that though if someone has better information than me!

I don't think .png is a supported file type.  Photos should be .jpeg only.
