Really? I have PSP 5 also, and it both saves alpha channels and does
paletted PNG images. And I upgraded shortly after that version came
out, so mine is still one of the earliest releases. Maybe you've got 
a buggy intermediate version? (I hate when they start fiddling to 
try and "fix" stuff...) Just to make sure it wasn't some
inconsistency between the PNG support of POV and PSP, I just tried 
a test both ways, and both paletted PNG and alpha channel info 
exported by PSP seems to work fine in POV image_maps.
