Meh, just for the heck of it, how do you make transparent layers in the GIMP show up as white instead of black? When I save a picture with a transparent layer in the GIMP as a tga file and look at the tga file with VTFEdit or anything else, the transparency shows up as black.

no, they cant, but they can handle multiple channels.

No idea how/if it's possible with GIMP, but with photoshop, you just create an alpha channel, then save straight to .vtf

Same with PSP. Select what you want to be transparent and save it to the mask layer. To invert the transparent bits, invert the selection. :sarcastic:

Um, what? I'm asking if there is a way to change the transparency color for black to white.

I don't use GIMP, so i don't know.

Ok, I got a new problem. Trying to make a css overview minimap. Trying to take out the green in the overhead picture. Is there any way to make a color have no alpha?

Update/edit: Oh nvm, I know how to do this now. You press the "clear" button :P. But I still wanna know how to make transparency a color.
