- The Color to Alpha filter makes transparent all pixels with a selected color. An Alpha channel is
- created.
- It will attempt to preserve antialiasing information by using a partially intelligent routine that
- replaces weak color information with weak alpha information. In this way, areas that contain an
- element of the selected color will maintain a blended appearence with their surrounding pixels.
