importing image with alpha
Sep 9th, 2005, 1:01pm  
is there a way to import an image with alpha channel that's not a gif? cause the diffusion in gif is just too ugly, so wondering if anyone knew of a way to import maybe a tiff and have the alpha apply? or a trick? wait.. hmm, wonder if i can import the same thing but then...nope nevermind, so yeah, if anyone knows of a trick, let me know.

Hi monk3ybutts,

You could import the image without the alpha and then create your own alpha programatically using the PImage mask() function or apply another image or the same image as the alpha.

see reference
http://processing.org/reference/PImage_mask_.html

using image as alpha - example code :
http://processing.org/learning/examples/alphamask.html

hope that helps,

james
