Hi @Anonymous,

Right now, you can use only use the High Dynamic Range image format. The supported file types are .hdr and .exr. To create a custom background for the render environment, open the Scene Settings menu and in the Environment drop down tab, change the Style to "Custom". Then (still in scene settings) go to the Background drop down menu and make sure that the option "Environment" is selected.

Hope this answers your question. If so, feel free to mark this answer as a solution so that others can benefit from this post as well. If you have any more questions or would like more clarification, don't hesitate to let me know. I'm more than happy to to help!

Thanks,
