   Graphics question: I've got a set of transparent graphics in old BMPs which uses a colour as the alpha mask. Not all of the magenta pixels are exactly the same tone - seems like there's some gradient. Is that a technique that was ever used for 8-bit transparency back in the day? Or is this just a sign that the edge cutout wasn't done precisely?
