I’ve had success with this code loading .png in Godot 4.0 stable.
There is an example in docs for ImageTexture

var image = Image.load_from_file(path)
var texture = ImageTexture.create_from_image(image)
brush.texture = texture

Here, path is an absolute path received by FileDialog picker, with file in the desktop folder, brush is a TextureRect
Tried on Windows 10. Seems to work in exported project also.
