Es57 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm trying to open a .tga image file with Paint.NET. But instead of the actual image, I just get the grey-and-white transparency grid. I can see that the image seems to be somewhere behind, because when I use the color-selecting tool on it, I can have the various colors of the image in the color window, with a 0 alpha-transparency. Is there a way to disable this transparency so I can see the image and be able to modify it ? (I should mention that there is only on layer to that image.)

Search for a plugin here that will let you adjust the alpha. It's sounds like it's displaying the image as transparent for some reason. http://www.getpaint.net/search.html Can't say for sure that's the problem, but it's worth trying.

Rick Brewster Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Whatever created the TGA probably mis-encoded the header, stating it was 32-bit with alpha, but then set all the alpha values to 0 instead of 255 (or instead of just saving it as 24-bit).
