Graphics 2.0, Effects, and Alpha Channels: Some Unsupported?

With regard to this topic: http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/42848-fixed-graphics-20-filters-and-alpha-channels-supported/

It seems that more graphics 2.0 effects don’t support alpha channels. In the following code, if the object is a .PNG with an alpha mask the fill effect will brighten the masked portion of the image making it visible.

Is this as designed and therefore I need to find an alternative way to implement this effect on my masked .PNGs?? 

object = display.newImageRect( imageSheet, 1, 10,10 ) object.fill.effect = "filter.brightness" object.fill.effect.intensity = 0.4

Thanks!

Engineering has asked that when you run into a filter that doesn’t have alpha support to go ahead and file a bug report.
