It may also be that you need to use rgba: rather than rgb:

Sorry for the delay, I have been on vacation in china for 5 weeks.

However if the image is already a greyscale image (not just data)
then it is probably faster to do it within IM as Fred described.

If you just have a pure text data file, then there are methods to
convert it to a greyscale image using say a PbmPlus type of image file
format.  That format has a minimal text header followed by either binary
or text numbers. The image can be bitmap, greyscale or RGB, though not
RGBA.  You say its grey scle, so a PGM image format may be best, then
you can use Im to convert that into transparency masks.
