Transparent images

How on earth is it possible to draw transparent images in Java? I have an
Image object, load the image from a file and draw it on a Graphics object.
The question is: I want all black pixels to be transparent when drawn on
another image.

This is getting frustrating because after a day's efforts the backgroup is
still black...
Help please!

The easiest way is if the Image is loaded from a file format that
supports transparency natively - then it should "work" as long as
black is the transparent color.

Other than that, you can try to get the Image's ColorModel, look for
black and set its alpha component.
