You need to give them 0 alpha somehow. If the watermark was something
you drew yourself then you can start with a blank INT_ARGB image and just
not fill in the background. An INT_ARGB image is clear upon construction.
If the watermark was an image you loaded from a file then you will need
to use an image format that has alpha or filter it yourself to turn all
of the black colors clear (there is no built-in filter that does that
as far as I know). 1.3 supports PNG which supports a full alpha channel
so the solution might be as simple as converting the watermark image to
PNG and making the background transparent...
