How do you turn OFF masking?

I've seen a lot of topics on how to do masking, but it seems to be on by default. I can't seem to turn it off, and so if I haven't specified a transparent color, black ends up being transparent.

Add :

SetBlend SOLIDBLEND

before you do the drawing.

cool, thanks!

To disable automatic generation of masks when loading or creating images you can also use the following straight after calling the Graphics function:

AutoImageFlags FILTEREDIMAGE
