hi, I find very interesting this thread but I have loosen my understaning about the goal of your research...
an empower paint bucket useful in a graphic drawing tool?
a tool to substitute the PALETTE commands in 32bits graphic mode?
a blending tool ?
is it for a graphic app like paint/gimp/photoshop ?
is it for a graphic engine building at fly the images and models?
I think, IMHO, that there are so many features and tools to invent regarding the set goal. But what is the set goal? I missed this one.
In DOS programming time for movement and sprites it was useful use GET/PUT with AND / OR / XOR to get transparency and blending effects. The same I see used in Windows (until win 95) with the same BASIC keywords and some masking tecniques.
But with alpha channel and hardware images you can get more and more, and also using OpenGl. So I think that a graphic engine on fly works well using GPU, while for basic graphic engine and paintlike tools the CPU is enough, but for professional and speedy results we must think about GPU.
In what direction do you want to look at? Your choice will select the answer.
