Thanks Ken, actually I have already tried that code example and it seems to be functionally equivalent to setting the blendlevel - either way Rev still treats the image as having transparencey, and is therefore slow.
The next best thing I have been able to do is to bring the source image into an inv window, set its blend, then use your handy exportscreen technique to grab the pixmapID of the inv window and set the image imagepixmapID of the desired img to it. Seems to work.. but still seems a bit kludgy - TJ PS: The tips on your site have been VERY helpful.. >Message: 7 >Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 16:54:33 -0500 >From: Ken Ray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Burning Transparancy level into an Image >To: Use Revolution List <[email protected]> >Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > >On 7/26/05 4:28 PM, "TJ Frame" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> Anyone know how to "collapse" or "burn in" the alpha channel of an image >> such that the image no longer has any transparency but looks like it did >> when it still had the transparency? >> I'm making an app that manipulates graphics on top of an imported >> background image and activating the blend of the background image reduces >> speed greatly vs. having a non blended image underneath. >> Right now I'm kludging it by bringing the source image into an image >> control, setting its blend level (either directly through the Alphadata or >> the Blendlevel), then saving it as a jpeg and reimporting the image back >> into Rev... >> I would be grateful if anyone has a more elegant solution by correctly >> dipping into the Imagedata/Alphadata the first time > >TJ, take a look at the Image tips on my site, specifically: > >http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/revolution.htm?_imag005 > >HTH, > >Ken Ray >Sons of Thunder Software >Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ >Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
