I've just uploaded the 2nd in what I hope will be a continuing series of articles about RMagick. This one is part 1 of a 2- (or more) parter about alpha compositing. You can read it here: http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/src_over.html RMagick is an interface to the ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org) and GraphicsMagick (http://www.graphicsmagick.org) image processing libraries. The RMagick home page is http://rmagick.rubyforge.org If you have an idea for an article you'd like to see, shoot me an email at this address or at rmagick / rubyforge.org. Thanks! Tim
