Whoever wrote it should be put in a mental institution. Oh, wait. That would be me. Anyways, it is due for a rewrite. The code sucks. It was my first GTK+ application :-) I would be very happy to take suggestions for a better user interface. And yes, the blend tool should do the right thing with alpha values, i.e. premultiply them before compositing them in. I'll submit a patch for it in the afternoon. Federico
