Fwd: Transparent Blending -- Mac vs Windows

[kevin]

Interestingly enough I found that selecting the paint bucket tool and 
right-clicking on the white parts of an image in the Windows version of 
Rev will actually deem those white areas transparent. Rather peculiar 
but then, isn't everything that has to do with Windows?
