That could absolutely be useful with this new gpt-image-2, to have a specific opaque color background before editing alpha transparency. Although with other models on API, there’s no need for “before background”, as I tested and shared in this thread.
I think we have a true challenge with alpha transparency and gpt-image-2…for a while at least
