From my experience, I usually proceed as follow:
Create your image in Photoshop and make an alpha channel. To make the
alpha channel, simply select the region you want transparent and choose
"Save selection" from the menu (can't remember the menu name; I guess it's
named "Select").
Save your image in tiff format and make sure to have the alpha channel
option checked.
From a terminal, use the command-line utility "tiffutil" to convert it:
tiffutil -cat original.tiff -out new.tiff
The image file "new.tiff" can now be imported in Project Builder :)
Regards,
Francis
