Alpha Layer Editor Description

This progam allows to add an ALPHA Layer to an existing bitmap. The application window shows three bitmaps: 1. The top left image is the original bitmap as loaded from the disk 2. The top right image is the mask that will be used to define the alpha layer (important: this bitmap must have the same size as the original bitmap) 3. The bottom image is the result of applying the mask on the original The mask dark parts are transparent and the light parts are Opaque. If your mask was drawn the other way, use the "invert mask" checkbox to perform an inversion of the mask image. If you don't have a separate mask file, use the checkbox "Use Loaded Image as Mask", and the program will automatically create a mask by making a gray level bitmap from the loaded image. You can always edit this automatic mask by saving it (press the "Save mask" button), editing it with your favorite bitmap editor, unchecking the checkbox "Use Loaded Image as Mask", and loading back your edited mask. Most of the time, I don't use partial transparence. So, I uncheck the "Allow partial opacity" check box. This forces the mask to become a two color (black and white) image instead of a grey scale image. The Threshold that defines the limit Between Black and White is adjustable.
