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?

Thing is, I was forced up to AIEE! 6.. maybe it's the QuickTime problem. Though I also wonder why not simply place it into the GIF89 format. Yes, reduced color quality. But you also end up with a wider degree of visability with older styles of browser.

Oh, that's easy.

I actually got an almighty C&D from UniSys with a previous web page, just for using GIF's. Yeah, I got busted by the GIF-police for using them without paying a royalty. I was too young at the time to know better, so I signed it off, and picked up PNG way too early on. :-)

Heck, I'm figuring out how to do MNG now for alpha-blended animations, instead of just picking up a free GIF tool. For another few years, I can't use GIF's, basically. I'll try to dig up the papers some time if you want next time you're over, hon.
