Happy Monday All,

Alphas in Xpression can be a little challenging, and I stumbled across a hack I wanted to share. We use rounded corners on images on a lot of our content, and I figured out a solution where I lean into the texturing flexibility of a quad, but use a slab for the alpha. I discovered a way to invert the alpha by creating a die-cut of sorts with the slab, and wanted to share the win from the effort.

I've also got some scripting where you can change to value of the rounding with a drop down menu. Only real callout is to see the differences of the Alpha Blending modes of the two layer objects associated with each image.
