And now for the 3rd sample in the popular VisualEffects series, the AlphaBlending. Alphablending tehnique was introduced in Windows 98. It allows you to blend two images smoothly by selecting image's transparency. Well commented and don't forget to check out VisualEffects #1 & #2, the translucency and transparency. Also, if like it or not, please vote & comment and encourage me and all of us to keep on providing each other with coded solutions. Thank you, MrHippo
