Wish Transparent JPG

[RonC.]

Would an implementation of transparent JPGs as Square has done on android be possible: http://corner.squareup.com/2013/01/transparent-jpegs.html ?

Compression of 90% with alpha channel! Great for downloads... More like a dream list.

Note: changing to 8-bit is possible and stripping out unneeded metadata on tinyPNG.com with different results... Also https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fixing_transparent_PNGs for about optimizing to 8-bit PNGs on Photoshop & GIMP...

The new version of my MFLib contains functions to load/create a masked bitmap from two jpg files.

I'm definitely going to have to look into that for my next project! This is a godsend! Thank you very much!
