Does Photoimpact have transparent?

Yes PI does have the capability of producing and using transparency. When you first open PI, and select New Image then you are presented with the options:

Also while working on an image you can alter the transparency levels for the objects in your image.

I work transparent on Photoimplant. I can't find Render backface on Number 6. Where do I find it?

Creating transparent objects
To create a transparent object, for example, a glass jar, draw a 3D object and simply make the transparency setting higher. The following procedure shows you how.

To create a transparent object:

1. Click the Path Drawing Tool, then select a Shape and draw the path.
2. Click Editing on the Attribute Toolbar to edit the path shape.
Click Editing again to return to the Path Drawing Tool.
3. Change the Mode of the path object to 3D Round on the Attribute Toolbar.
4. Click Material, then click Border/Depth. Lower the Border setting.
5. Click Transparency. Select Transparency then set it to at least 75% to mimic the appearance of glass. Set the minimum transparency to 35% for the object's edges.
6. Click Shadow and select the Render backface option.
7. Click OK.

There is another way to create a transparent image - it is in the first section of this tutorial:

Hi Steven, it is cool but I want transparents

How do I find "5. Click Transparency. Select Transparency then set it to at least 75% to mimic the appearance of glass. Set the minimum transparency to 35% for the object's edges."?

Ahh that's what I would term semi-transparant in which case the method I mentioned is unsuitable for your purpose.

Yeah, I just learning it but I use Transition Effect and Mask Customiztion. When I make white background and black shapes. I am successfully VS11 Plus's transition customized that my own disign.

When I put a color picture of me, I put shape on my face.
Background still color so I use white PaintBrush and paint too fast to white background but shape still black then save as .png.

VS11 plus effect Mask customizer and pick it and move perfect. yippee...
