And why is it I'm the only LiveJournal user I've been able to find that actually went to the trouble of making any Alpha-channel images for themselves, instead of just cardboard-cutout ones that still have big-honking-rectangles around them? Just spent like 20 minutes digging far and wide through the wonderful thing known as recursive friends links, and looking through the allpics entries, and I actually couldn't find anyone with alpha-blended images.

Or am I actually one of the few folks that knows how to do that still?

I suppose some of us don't need to alpha blend our pictures ;> I just kept the backgrounds on all of mine because they either matched the page well or looked good with the picture anyway..

Yeah, I figured that was the usual answer...

...just, well, I've had to re-do some of the colour choices I'd made for the Friends list to let the chosen images at least look okay. *giggles* I dunno, I guess I just like not having backgrounds on my images, big proponent of better file formats like PNG and the like. Well, that, and I do enough 3D video-game level editing that I appreciate how useful a good alpha-blended image can be. >^.^<
