Images not already called as texture maps in materials can be used in new materials. (TImg)

Background images are used for backgrounds in photo renderings.(BImg)

it's clear with [BImg], but can u specify the way to apply that new materials, or some special option must be switched on, or that textures[TImg] not active at all? thanks a lot.

In LightWorks or the Internal Engine, the images act as surfaces - Look in the existing Material definitons for clues for where the images reside.

Most easily: Under the Color shader, use "Graphisoft Masked Image" to start.
