GraphicConverter doesn't really have the cojones to do what you need done. You want something that can use e.g. the greyness of each pixel in the original image to determine the greyness of each pixel in the alpha mask. Photoshop or GIMP will do this fairly handily. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.apeth.net/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
