I need help. I'm trying to process a PNG photo to make the background transparent. I can't. The photo is rendered as a whole. Instead of a transparent background black. How to create material?

Color > Diffuse Color
Alpha > Opacity

But it looks like Alpha channel from Image Texture node using PNG isn't read at all (looks like it only uses RGB) , so put Separate RGBA in between to use it properly.

e.g.

Something's wrong. An error appears. When adding a channel shader, the alpha is not working. Although in preview all is well

8.0.37 automatically will connect the alpha output of the image texture to the opacity input unless it is also manually specified.

I tried to use transparent PNG Tree image to operate it,
it still not work. Do you only upadate new version to complete it? no any other operation?
I will try it later.

Present version is 8.0.49 (Archive: https://bitbucket.org/coronablender/render_corona/downloads/?tab=tags)
Works as described above.
Anyways, attached is the scene set ;)

Enjoy!
