Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

Hello. Previously, was able to display a PNG with alpha areas transparent on the desktop using "display -immutable </path/name-of-file>". With 6.5.1-2 however, only get the alpha-indicating checkerboard. Also tried switch -alpha on, etc. No luck

Thanks

Looks like we'll need to make transparency an option. We'll add a patch to ImageMagick in the next few days to support both behaviors (shape mask or checkerboard). Thanks.

I see the same thing, but I believe that the checkerboard is the background underneath the transparent areas. What do you expect, just gray?

Never mind, I see that Magick has taken care of this above.

Thanks for looking at that. In reply to what was expected, to be a bit clearer, previously the checkrboarded areas were actually transparent - with the -immutable flag I could see the desktop or any windows underneath the asset. Best regards.
