This page explains the math of ink effects: http://ssp.impulsetrain.com/porterduff.html But the best way to understand ink effects is 1- creating a stack 2- import as control a transparent PNG image like: http://pngimg.com/upload/orange_PNG811.png 3- import as control a second transparent PNG image like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Earth_Western_Hemisphere_transparent_background.png/240px-Earth_Western_Hemisphere_transparent_background.png 4- Place the earth image over the orange. All orange leafs should be still visible 5- select both images and group them... The stack contains a group of two png images with transparency 6- Now... change ink effects on every element: a) The Group b) image Earth c) image Orange Results are difficult to predict, at least for me... :o -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Error-Messages-Are-Evil-tp4679382p4679568.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
