Issue Summary
The dev version for drupal7 has an option for selecting the color of a background for a crop.
We'd like to set the background to transparent.
When we enter 'transparent' in this field, the background is black.
#transparent is the result.
Should this work?
Am I doing this incorrectly?
Is this a feature that was lost in the upgrade?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
peace,
michael

#1
Crop is not an effect provided by the imagecache_actions module but by Drupal core (as id Scale and crop). Moreover crop does not have a background color field as, apparently, it is assumed that it will only make the canvas smaller.
So what effect do you mean?
BTW: For some effects, leaving the color/HEX field empty will be interpreted as transparent.
#2
It was also intended that RGBA values would be supported in color selectors.
eg #000000FF is transparent white, and you can define a canvas with that.
As ever, convert to PNG if you want that to turn up in the result.
#3
Only for the imagecache actions side - not for core crop (though define_canvas also will crop as a side-effect)
We could probably add that to the docs there.
