Re: Compositing math in SVG

Where is the alpha coming from? Is it already in the image that you're
applying blending to?
It so, you need to alpha blend with the background first and then blend.

There's a different between:

<img>
<g alpha=.75 blend=multiply>

<img>

</g>

and

<img>
<g blend=multiply>

<img alpha=.75 >

</g>
