@ -64,6 +64,12 @@ Pillow also provides limited support for a few additional modes, including:
* ``BGR;24`` (24-bit reversed true colour)
* ``BGR;32`` (32-bit reversed true colour)
Premultiplied alpha is where the values for each other channel have been
multiplied by the alpha. For example, an RGBA pixel of ``(10, 20, 30, 127)``
would convert to an RGBa pixel of ``(5, 10, 15, 127)``. The values of the R,
G and B channels are halved as a result of the half transparency in the alpha
channel.
Apart from these additional modes, Pillow doesn't yet support multichannel
images with a depth of more than 8 bits per channel.
