Trivial:

PHP Code:


		
			
 im1=im.convert("RGBA")

im1.putalpha(msk)

What's the problem?

I haven't got your point. Are you asking about PIL or about OpenGL?

Any of them - either mode "L" or "1", in PIL jargon. Alpha mask is full-blown PIL image, just single-banded one

sorry about the confusion, im having troubles varying the alpha in OpenGL. I can change the overall Alpha value using glColor4f but I see no varying alpha on the texture.

im assuming the alpha channel is int's 0-255 since the RGB channels are. the putalpha method comes up with no errors but i cant get getpixel(xy) to work. ive tried
im.getpixel([x,y])
im.getpixel(x,y)

temp=x*y
im.getpixel(temp)
