I have 2.0.1 and my tutorials are 3.?.  I'm trying to load an image in preview to center a session image but it won't take it.

does this feature need  3.?  
 

does 3.? Exist -- I can't find it.

thanks

Just found out--it won't load a TIF but will a JPEG

file too big?

Now that I've got an image in preview  the opacity doesn't do anything

The latest BackyardNIKON version is 2.0.11.

The latest BackyardEOS version is 3.1.18.

Creating a TIFF file with BYE/BYN is just there for convenience.  

LOADING a TIFF file with BYE/BYN is not a supported function.  

BYE/BYN are DSLR optimized software and works best with NEF (Nikon) or CR2/CR3 (Canon) image files.  You need to load a NEF file, not a TIFF.

What are you trying to do?  Using the mask framing function?

[ridgesoar]

Thanks. I'll try to find a nef to load. 
yes. I think!   Trying to put yesterday's picture up to frame today's

The mask framing is meant to allow you to frame your current session as close as possible (visually) to a previous session... so ideally you need to take a picture from that previous session to load with the mask framing button... and that is the .NEF file you need to load.
