Yeah, the question is however how do I technically (e.g. in Cocoa)
composite the "appropriate alpha" with an image, whether the
background image, as you suggest, or with text image, as Ricky
suggested.
AFAIU, there is not such NSCompositingOperation to do this trick. It
appears that I need to iterate all pixels of the intermediate bitmap,
and multiply the transparency value by the mask. This is quite
low-level, is there a better way?
