http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-shapes/#shape-image-threshold-property says: # <alphavalue> # A <number> value used to set the threshold used for extracting # a shape from an image. Any values outside the range 0.0 (fully # transparent) to 1.0 (fully opaque) will be clamped to this # range. which isn't clear about whether you're looking for pixels that are greater than ( > ) the alphavalue or greater than or equal ( >= ) to the alphavalue. There is an example earlier: # A value of 0.5 means that the shape will enclose all the pixels # that are more than 50% opaque. which suggests that it's greater than ( > ). I tend to think it's actually preferable for it to be a >=, because then 0.0 is useful as a default value that has the current behavior (no image shape threshold) since all image pixels have an opacity that are >= 0. I think the alternative ( > ) doesn't seem as useful because: * using >, the 1.0 value doesn't seem useful (no shape, always) * the Initial value doesn't describe the current behavior, so another value would be needed -David -- 𝄞 L.
