- When the paint device is a QImage, the image format must be set to
- \l {QImage::Format}{Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied} or
- \l {QImage::Format}{Format_ARGB32} for the composition modes to have
- any effect. For performance the premultiplied version is the preferred
- format.
+ Several composition modes require an alpha channel in the source or
+ target images to have an effect. For optimal performance the
+ image format \l {QImage::Format}{Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied} is
+ preferred.
When a composition mode is set it applies to all painting
operator, pens, brushes, gradients and pixmap/image drawing.
