Yup, and I was talking through my hat when I was talking about IE supporting them. > if you index an image, you get that > problem. that is how indexing works. it has nothing to do with gimp. Actually, no. That's how indexing works in the GIMP. But it is possible to have alpha-blended indexed images in PNG. PNG indexes may have an RGBA value, as opposed to just the RGB value that we limit things to. Here's the bug jimmac opened about this, with a couple of examples of indexed pngs with nice alpha channels. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86627 Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary Lyon, France _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
