>>>What i want to do is modify the image with color tint or some other effect i can obtain onscreen (but cannot understand clearly since the documentation is quite mute on these calculations...) You can easily see by yourself : make a canvas, draw an image in its backdrop, draw something in its backdrop.mask (try a plain light color, definitely not grey) and admire the effect. Nobody did this before ? I can't believe this!

   > Masks should always be grayscale.

and 3. you will cry when a change will occured (because it always occured at one time in the future)...

Certainly, but if this becomes a documented feature in RB6, Few will cry.

I am experimenting in colors and viewing, could you point me to some literature, examples and RB-made softwares ?
Thanks again!
