I've been throwing around the idea of making a new intermediate file format which can contain only pre-multiplied transparency. But, do you know any file format already supports this?


TIFF can do premultiplied alpha. The problem with TIFF is that it's such a grab bag of options, it makes it difficult to know what you're dealing with.


EXR is associated by convention. TIFF mandates it, although with an additional TIFF tag for an "opacity" channel that behaves as unassociated IIRC.


Thanks - I didn't know that - anything else apart from TIFF?
