- Alpha Icon Creator
- License: Shareware

The concept of resampling an image and using an alpha channel to feather the edges is described in the Alpha-DIB section article Alpha Resampling. The idea is that you start with a single, pixel accurate bitmap of a much larger size to the image you want to draw. Then you assign the background colour of the bitmap as the "transparent" colour. This colour is then mapped so that in the destination image it has an alpha value of 0, i.e. the destination pixels are completely transparent. Then say you want to create a version of the image that is 1/4 of the size. Each pixel in the smaller version of the image corresponds to 16 pixels (4 x 4) in the source image.
