Perhaps your knickers are a bit twisted. I think your problem is the image you are using for the mask contains *no* transparency information. If you want to use images directly as masks, they must be created with transparency information included. The white area in your circle image is read as color, not transparency. Execute the following in your message box and see if the stack demonstrates what you are trying to do. go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/masktest.rev" The stack contains two images, both of which were created in Photoshop with transparent backgrounds; the top image is a GIF with a 1 bit mask, the bottom is an image with an 8 bit mask. Notice that the 8 bit mask allows for a smoother edge appearance.
