The answer is simple: PhotoDesk does not cope with Alpha Sprites, not
even on versions of RISC OS that support them (Select). Thump uses OS
routines to display images, so it renders them correctly, but only on
versions of RISC OS that support them.

Not really much space in the Info Bar. In the long run there will be a
button bar on which you can place such buttons.
