>MetaCard's implementation introduces very noticeable > distortions, especially with images that have alpha channels. MC currently doesn't support painting on an alphamask..so it strips the alphamask with any image editing operation (ie.flips and rotation). You can however save the alphadata away before rotating it..rotate the alphadata by script, and apply it afterwards using the alphadata property. If this is too slow you can still take advantage of the alphadata/imagedata/maskdata properties by having an external do the heavy bit fiddling (external api now supports manipulating binary data) ..see the mossiac example in the new 2.4 external tutorial for an example of a cross platform image manipulation external.
