<I'd like to create an opacity mask in AAPRO. (i.e. a mask where some of the background colors will be added to the masked object.) … but the mask turns out to be opaque > AniPro only has one kind of mask, namely, a bitmap that specifies which pixels of the screen are "protected." A mask can also be "pasted," in which case it is treated as containing only pixels of the current color, or pixels that are transparent. A mask cannot have several colors. I am not familiar with "opacity masks," but would guess that what you want is a one-frame cel (or FLC). <tried to create an object with a glass color and then … > With AniPro you can only "paint." No information is kept with a finished image regarding what "ink" or "tool" was used to apply color to specific pixels.
