Mask
Transform an opaque image into a translucent one. Paste an image and select the mask style - dark, light or both - and watch it transform as dark shades turn translucent, and light shades opaque. Then save the your image as a PNG, and you're done.

Sample image "Banner.jpg" made transparent. Quality is set to "0" reducing PNG size from 215K down to 139K.
