The .JPG file format does not and can not contain an alpha. That is why you find two images available for the bacon. One supplies diffuse color, the other supplies a black/white mask for the alpha. You can use two attributeFromMap nodes in this case. When fetching a known black/white matte image set the data type to float and map the data into the built-in in Alpha attribute. The follow up attributeWrangle takes the float input from the second input and integrates it into the mesh that contains the Cd color diffuse attribute.
