-alpha background missing documentation

Post by fmw42 »

Hi,

I just noticed this from the changelog:

2009-05-10 6.5.2-5 Cristy <quetzlzacatenango@image...>
New -alpha background option to set fully-transparent pixels to the background color.

This is very neat and I have already used it.

convert -list alpha

does indeed show that new feature as available.

However, I thought I would point out that apparently the options page for -alpha has not been updated to include this feature (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... .php#alpha)

We'll fix it, however, if you want we can give you access to the documentation and you can add your own edits as needed.

Earlier you had given me access and I was helping to do that before. But then I was told that I was locked out so that Rick Mabry could take over. Has that situation changed? I am happy to help when and where I can. I just tried my old access and I am still locked out.

Try now. One of these days we'll get the documentation into Subversion to resolve multiple developers working on the docs at the same time.

No it does not work. You must have changed my password or something. I will send you a PM with what you had before.
