Scripts

• remove_alpha.py
  
  

  From Alpha to Opaque.

  Set all pixels opaque.

  • Use BASE_remove_alpha.png as base.
  • Return RESULT_remove_alpha.png.


• get_alpha.py
  
  

  From Opaque to Alpha.

  Set all pixels transparent.

  • Use BASE_get_alpha.png as base.
  • Return RESULT_get_alpha.png.


• merge_alpha_layers.py
  
  

  Merge both types easily.

  With this one, you have to set "masks", one with opaque pixels, one with transparent pixels.

  • Use BASE_merge_alpha_layer0.png as base for solid pixels.
  • Use BASE_merge_alpha_layer1.png as base for transparent pixels.
  • Return RESULT_merge_alpha.png.
