I am still hoping for a better Image masking and REALLY, REALLY need the Alpha feature.... <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

What Alpha feature are you referring too?

| I could be mistaken but, I am guessing the "Instant Alpha" that preview offers kinda like a magic wand tool that turns the background transparent | |

Yes, exactly! In IWeb, under Format there is an Instant Alpha tool that turns the background of the photo transparent...

Instant alpha is a very complex feature to implement. Unless we get a lot of requests for it we won't be putting it in so quickly.

Here is a quick video: Use the magic wand to select the background then press the delete key on the keyboard which will convert the image to a PNG for transparency. http://youtu.be/QEznOH6LM1A |

| Sometimes I forget about the little Apple gems. It's not PhotoShop but, it is a handy way to do a quick mask | |
