I found dbSetImageTranslucency in a .h file and tried it but with no effect. It isn't in the documentation so I was wondering if the command works.

I figured out that it does work but I am looking for something that Alpha blends an image on the screen.
Anyone?

Wouldn't

dbSetImageColorkey
This command will set the general colorkey for all images. A colorkey allows you to specify a particular RGB colour that will be treated as transparent by the image when used. Transparent pixels of an image are not drawn. You must use this command before loading or grabbing an image in order that a suitable alpha map be generated from the transparent pixels of the desired image to be calculated. The alpha map is then used to decide which pixels are drawn and which pixels are never rendered.

Syntax
void dbSetImageColorKey ( int iRed, int iGreen, int iBlue )

work?

@DaddyJ - That isn't what I am after. I am aware of Color Keys and how they work by keeping a certain color from dislaying like black or magenta.

What I am looking for is Alphablending where it takes an image and blends the colors with whatever pixels are already on the screen. I believe a 3D example of this is when you turn on ghost for an object and you can see through it but the colors blend with whatever is behind it, like looking through smoke. So, I am looking for a specific 2D way to do that.
