by transparency, do you mean one of the colours is transparent or the whole image has a certain alpha value? ie 50% transparent

Turing has the command Pic.SetTransparentColour

The Pic.SetTransparentColor procedure sets the color in the picture that should be considered transparent when the picture is drawn using the picMerge or picUnderMerge modes. If no color is specified, then the default background color (colorbg, usually white) is used as the transparent color.

This SHOULD make the car have a white background...

code:

Pic.ScreenLoad ("Turing/picture.jpg", 0, 0, picCopy)

var car :int
car := Pic.New (0, 0, 240, 99)
Pic.SetTransparentColour (car, 0)
colorback (1)
cls

Pic.SetTransparentColour (car, 0)
Pic.Draw (car, 0, 0, picCopy)
