1) If you create your images using an image editor (ie Photoshop or similar)
save your images in GIF or PNG format, with transparency.

2a) If you create your images in Rev, there is an eraser tool among the
paint tools (can't recall if there's a transparency eye dropper like in
MetaCard)

2b) Alternatively, you might be able to set the ink of your images to srcOr.
If your stack is for Mac only, you can set the ink to transparent.

(FWIW, I'm currently writing an article that will describe several tips and
techniques for dealing with graphics in Rev.)
