You've kind of forced me to spend some time learning about alpha channel. While I've got more work to do on that score one thing I've learned, which I didn't know previously, is that some image file formats support them. This means they are not confined to GIMP, or other editing software, as I was previously thinking. Rather, GIMP can create standard image files that contain them.
Insofar as my interest had to do with things I'd be adding to the image, text and borders, I'm thinking this means that I could use an alpha channel to create these things as transparent which would then cause them to be whatever the color of the paper on which they are printed. However, such images files would NOT look as desired when viewed on a display. Correct? Or NOT?
