Visualizing alpha in Blender
Blender provides three different drawing modes to view alpha with respect to the im-
age RGB channel. As shown in the following screenshot, these options can be seen
in the menu panel of the UV/Image Editor. The
RGB * A
mode displays RGB with
premultiplied alpha, the
RGB
mode displays only RGB information, and the
A
mode
displays only alpha channel information in the image.
The
RGB
mode draws the RGB channel with "aliased" edges, since it doesn't con-
sider the alpha channel.
