Hello,

I am trying to create a semi-transparent thumbnail for my application when I perform drag and drop. The problem is, the source image is not transparent. I know that you can draw the NSImage transparent by using the compositeToPoint methods, but those do not actually change the data. I need the actual NSImage to contain the transparent image so that I can pass it to the function:

dragImage:at:offset:event:pasteboard:source:slideBack:

How does an application like iPhoto create the transparent thumbnail?

Thanks in advance.
