this was really funny to read. 2 guys getting in troubles while discussing about MaskImage - how about a discussion about religion or politics then? Seriously, take it easy.
Zach - never use lossy compression for images you want to mask. Jpeg is lossy, even in the best quality setting.
Instead use bmp, png, tga. Also make sure to use 32 Bit graphics since in 16 Bit mode colors will be converted to 5.6.5 Bits.
And make sure to use a reliable Painting App that will save things correctly.
