    Hi everyone,

    I have just received my copy of ImageFX 4.5 and wanted to start creating some icons for my computer (mostly adding the program icon to the "folder" icon).

    However, with my first test, I realized that the Alpha channel (which makes the icon look great) also made the icon look crappy (transparency where it shouldn't be any).

    I've searched the net, and found all the theory behind alpha blending... But that does not put me a single mm nearer my target.

    Does anyone know of a good tutorial for using the alpha channel in PNG images (if it is for ImageFX, better)?

    Thanks!
