after testing many graphic-applications :
Photoshop, Gimp, Icofx, xNview and more, I found a new two step-solution,
also to understand and useful for non experienced graphic-users.
The tool is designed, to make it easy, to convert to a Image with a Alpha-Blended background.
A situation could be :
Painting some transparent areas in a existing normal BMP and convert to Alpha-Blended.
How to do this, I will describe / add the solution in this toppic.
Download Pixelformer :
http://www.qualibyte.com/
The working-File : PNG-format with transparent-Background ( import )

The Export Alpha-Blended-BMP-File

After the given Export-BMP-Filename,
the Setting for Alpha-Blended-BMP ( automaticly detects the needed values for best results )

The result : Alpha-Blended-BMP
Syntax for Alpha-Blended-BMP's to be used :
.....
.....
DEFINE BITMAP oBmp FILENAME "LOGO.bmp"
ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd MAXIMIZED ;
ON PAINT ( ABPaint( hDC, 20, 20, oBmp:hBitmap, 220 ) )
.....
.....
