Migration guide

Prysm version 1.8 introduces support for using images that do not have their alpha channel pre-multiplied into the other color channels. Prior to version 1.8, all images in the SDK were treated as if they were using pre-multiplied alpha, disregarding any image metadata that might tell otherwise.

User images can now specify whether their alpha channel is pre-multiplied via the new cohtml::IAsyncResourceResponse::UserImageData::AlphaPremultiplication property. You can set the property to the correct value in the UserImageData object that is passed to the cohtml::IAsyncResourceResponse::ReceiveUserImage API in the cohtml::IAsyncResourceHandler::OnResourceRequest callback of your resource handler. This allows you to re-use the same image in both your engine and UI, even if the engine uses a non-pre-multiplied alpha pipeline.

Following is a table that describes the differences and solutions for various image formats:

Format1.7 and prior1.8
PNG, JPG, Other RGB(A) formatsAutomatically pre-multiplied after decodeNo change - Automatically pre-multiplied after decode
DDSAssumed to have pre-multiplied alphaMay need to re-save - Attempts to determine if alpha is pre-multiplied from metadata
KTX, ASTC, PKMAssumed to have pre-multiplied alphaMust re-save - Assumed NOT to have pre-multiplied alpha
User imagesAssumed to have pre-multiplied alphaUser controlled via cohtml::IAsyncResourceResponse::UserImageData::AlphaPremultiplication

Note that the output of all operations in the Prysm is still an alpha-pre-multiplied texture, so the blending of the resulting UI texture is not affected.
