user18198: I've imported 3 different pics that all are different when I look at them in Windows Explorer.

However, when I put them in an After Effects composition, they all appear as the same picture.

I've tried importing them 1 by 1 and multiple file import. All three of these images came from an Illustrator file that I exported at the same time.
What did I do wrong?

user24627: I believe the issue arises because of the naming of your files. When images have a number attached at the end of their names, after-effects assumes that you're importing an image sequence. Thus, it imports each "image" as a sequence, consisting of all 3 images. When you import your files, try unchecking the box that says "import as image-sequence".
