Can someone help with this? GIMP and .tga

[Cobie2]

Every Time I open a .tga with GIMP, I get somthing along the lines of below; only part of the Targa is visible. I really would like to figure this one out, because I don't have the money for an image-editing program like photoshop. Thanks in advanced!

Turn off, but don't edit, the Alpha Channel (it's in the Channels tab, in the same window as Layers).

I tried that, but it went from the checkerbored to whit in the backround.

Could you post a link to the file you are trying to edit? Or upload the file?

[Cobie2]

It's the saucer texture from the Boneventure. But thats not the only file doing it; its all of BC's textures. Everything is ok in-game, but i want to create my own textures

I see what you mean. Cobie, you don't happen to have MSN do you? If you do add me.
