There are a few images in SKS that need premultiplied alpha checked to look correct, Typically i use it on navigation arrow backgrounds and loggoff buttons.

 

To find out what it looks like with and without it.. turn it on... and off. :w00t:

 

Not sure specifically how it works but heres some nice techy info :P

The math for this operation is easy when the numbers are premultiplied:

R' = RF + (1 − AF)RB
G' = GF + (1 − AF)GB
B' = BF + (1 − AF)BB
A' = AF + (1 − AF)AB

The result is (0.75,0.5,0.5,0.75), which is the result of having each color's contribution to the pixel weighted by its area.

Clears thangs right up...dont it? :(O
