Re: png transparency with PIL

I'm trying to determine the transparency information for a png
image. With gif images I can determine the colour that is used for
transparent areas using im.info['transparency']. For the png
images of interest there is no such entry in the info dict. I
assume that's because of the way png does transparency. I'm
guessing I need the alpha channel, but is there a way to get hold
of it?

For accessing the alpha channel, there is an RGBA mode for PNG
files:
