Bufferedimage which type

Which image type should we use if we just want to create an opaque image a transparent image a translucent image I read the description in the Java Doc many times, but just couldn't figure out how should we use it. Improve this question. Mogsdad What's a translucent image? How is it different to a transparent image? AndyTurner I remember I read it somewhere about making parts of the image transparent while translucent is on the adjusting the opacity of the whole image.

For example, a gif file allows transparency but not translucency, while png files supports both. This is an example where one may need to use a different image type. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.

You can obtain translucency by drawing the image with alpha blending over the destination framebuffer. And so long the image type has support for alpha channel, it will be able to support transparency am I right to say that? This is my last question! Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
