Hi, there.

Hmm... according to Canvas >> #translucentImage:at:sourceRect: and FormCanvas >> #setFillColor: (via FormCanvas >> #frameAndFillRectangle:...) both use "Form blend".

It should produce the same result.

Maybe the Form (via #imageForm) itself is created differently. See Morph >> #imageForm:forRectangle: and FormCanvas >> #transformBy:clippingTo:during:smoothing:.

There are only two senders of #blendAlphaScaled.

Where does this happen? Using SketchMorph instead of ImageMorph shows
the same behavior.

The only way I found so far to fix the issue is to subclass FormCanvas
as FormCanvas2, with the single method #setFillColor: where I changed
the #blend send to #blendAlpha, and then to redefine
#imageForm:forRectangle: in Rectangle as

imageForm: depth forRectangle: rect
| canvas |
canvas := FormCanvas2 extent: rect extent depth: depth.
canvas translateBy: rect topLeft negated
during:[:tempCanvas| tempCanvas fullDrawMorph: self].
^ canvas form offset: rect topLeft

(see attached code)

Is there another way to have a Form exactly faithful to the displayed
morph? And shouldn't that be the defaut behavior of #imageForm (in other
words, isn't the current behavior a bug)?

Best,

Stef
