Opps that didn't work (convert to 1 bit) which resulted in an error when I attempted to save as a TIFF file (TIFF save cannot handle indexed images with alpha channel.) I should I guess explain what I am trying to do. I am creating photo realistic scenery for use withing Flight Simulator X. What I have to do is create a 'water mask' which is done by creating a layer and then using that layer to 'paint out' all the water areas using a BRUSH which is of color BLACK (0,0,0). This I have already done. I select that layer and then convert it to 1 bit and then attempt to EXPORT it as a TIFF image with NO COMPRESSION. That is when I get the error. Is there a way around that. -- jgarnold (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
