Hi, I try to project black and white image(PNG with alpha) but I get either a little light or no light at all. The RGB image works(PNG w alpha). Do I need edit the BW image somehow? I want to use it to mimic fake shadows from trees, etc.

Blender 2.93.9
Luxcore 2.6 (official)

Please, read and abide to rule written on top. It's there to help You. ;)
Anyways, here's an example.

PS.
To make "Gobo" light, exclude alpha and use white background.

I thought it was clear and recreating it is simple and I was in hurry, my bad ;) . It is important to me that you wrote I need to use image with white as background.

Thanks and stay healthy!

The image with alpha doesn't work neither so what I wrote in 1st post is not true. But I guess that's that in Luxcore all images works on BW if I am not wrong.
