Loading 4-channel texture data in iOS

I want to load 4-channel texture data from a file in iOS, so I consider the texture as a (continuous) map [0,1]x[0,1] -> [0,1]x[0,1]x[0,1]x[0,1] If I use the fileformat .png, XCode/iOS consider the file as an image, and so multiplies each component…

Convert PNG from premultiplied-alpha to conventional alpha transparancy?

I'm having a really hard time working with some source images in PNG format that have premultiplied alpha because most tools simply do not support it correctly. Is there anything out there that can do a "best guess" conversion to a more conventional…

Compositing premultiplied images using ImageMagick

I have two images. One is background with no alpha. The other is a white cloud. The alpha of the cloud image is premultiplied with black. When I composite them the white cloud has black in it, so it looks grey instead of white like it should. I'm…
