Some users were having a problem where my Superoverlays for Google Earth were coming out black. I woke up 2 hours before I usually wake up this morning, and as I was drifting back to sleep it came to me.

I wanted the Superoverlays to be semi-transparent for ski areas where I only have the slope map and not the aerial photo. I set the transparency but then set the color to black, thinking that it shouldn’t matter what color the alpha channel is if it’s just setting transparency. WRONG! Well, it worked fine on my machine, but other machines didn’t like it. So I changed the color to white, and now I have transparency and I get my images too.
