Create a white layer mask initially. Make your selection in the image window (make sure the layer mask is active in the Layers dialog by clicking on the mask thumbnail). Reset the FG/BG colors by typing D in the image window (resets to default colors). Then drag the foreground color (black) into the selection. That adds black to the selected area in the layer mask. The black area is the area that will be transparent in your saved image. If the selection is not feathered then the edge of the selection should (I believe) not be anti-aliased and should either be completely transparent or completely opaque. > However, the > left-most column of the square selection was not completely transparent > in-game. It might just be something wrong with the game, because I looked at > the color values of the area I wanted to make completely transparent and they > are all 0,0,0. Might be a bug in the game. Expand your selection by 1 pixel and do it again. > Also, I'm using .tga files. Maybe RLE compression has something to do with > this, but I always have it unchecked. No idea. It's possible, but that would probably be a game issue, not a GIMP issue. -- Michael J.
