A photo [image] is the means that Tk uses to display full color images.
Tk comes with support for GIF, PPM, and PGM formats, as well as a format to hook in code for other formats. The [Img] extension provides additional full color image formats.

[DKF]: Although [Tk] can't load images with rich alpha channels (i.e. non-trivial transparency effects like you get with some [PNG] images) it can display them from 8.4 onwards.

[LV]: Is the distinction between ''load'' and ''display'' that you make here a difference between minimally displaying the content versus displaying the content with the transparency effects?
