TGA image supporting applications

No. I'll explain you on irc later then. The bad image is also transparent, I've only posted rgb view without alpha channel.

GIMP doesn't handle the alpha channel correctly in TGA files, this is a known issue. When making photosoup textures (such as SimonOC's terrain textures) I need to save as an RGB tga and a separate greyscale version. Then I use ImageMagick to mogrify the RGB tga by adding the greyscale version as the alpha channel.

Why? It works for me.


Use transparent background and later set colour opacity when texturing.

GIMP IIRC saves TGA wrong if in Grayscale mode. Change to RGB mode before saving as TGA, if you have an alpha channel.
