"Dig holes" on the photo imported from Photo library

Games
#1

What I need is simply “dig” three holes on an image in the front layer, so user can see other images on the back layer through those holes.

This will be down simply by edit the front image in the image editor, but the problems is I have to use image from iPhone’s photo library or from camera.

I need at least three holes and user can drag those holes to where ever they need to be.
Looks like Mask is not the way to do this, for a start, it can only have one hole per image.

Is it possible to do so in Corona?

Maybe someone have some ideas.
I know maybe how it will work with 2 holes.
first hole will be the mask over the the image.
for the second hole you can get a black .png image with a transparent hole in it and put it over your user image.
Maybe you can do it also for the third but I don’t know if it will give you the effect you want.
What do you think.? [import]uid: 138389 topic_id: 31013 reply_id: 123990[/import]

Would be easier if Corona had pixel editing ability, but maybe use masking to mask out areas of the image where the holes go, in the same shape as the holes. So the mask only shows areas that do NOT have holes over them. Then maybe the rest would show through from behind? I’ve never tried using the masks before [import]uid: 63787 topic_id: 31013 reply_id: 128581[/import]
