Hi,
I have a question about the PD9 64bit 'Masks' directory. I created my own mask as per the default sizes 80X60 and 760X540
named them 43-semi.png and 43-semiThumb.png. Saved them in the 'mask' folder but they aren't showing up. They are saved in the Program Files>Cyberlink>Powerdirector>Masks . They were created in Photo Paint X3 bitmap editor, and exported. They don't even show up from my computer explorer, but do show up when I open them in Photo-Paint (but have a padlock).

The default size is 720x540 on my system, they must be .png file types (not just name), with a transparent background (which becomes black in PD) and the area to be transparent in PD must be white. It works OK on my 64 bit system.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I figured my problem out. I was using Photo Paint X3 and saving the file to the cyberlink folder and Phot Paint X3 doesn't have permissions. I save to another folder then copied and pasted into Cyberlink mask folder and they show up now.
