OK, I could use alpha in a wrong sense, it's a matter of definition, and let's agree on yours (though I wonder how's called the object alpha==0 pixels are part of, because I can draw on them, unlike pixels outside layer boundaries, so they exist and are part of something). But then I, as a user, don't care about alpha, and what I really care about is transparency. So everything what was said can be repeated, only s/alpha/transparency/. My need for pixels retaining their properties even in invisible state didn't disappear. Yeti
