[PD] [GEM-dev] proper alpha channels in GEM?

[B. Bogart]

Hi Patrice,

I did a quick test and GIMP will convert a transparent PNG to TIF fine.
I don't have Gem working on this machine to test loading the tif, but I
can confirm it shows transparency. "convert" did do something strange to
the png file when converting to tif I can see...

send me your tif if you still can't get it to work and I'll see if I can
confirm your troubles.

.b.
