gimp doesn't even support cmyk (which is only needed for print) properly so i doubt it's the default.
Perhaps I've confused a few things then, not sure. By the way it's irrelevant wether or not TGA files have a palette of not, it's the conversion process that messes up things and the difference between CMYK and RGB can be seen with the naked eye. When it comes to PS though, it has quite some quality reducing features too, be sure to set everything to maximum quality, perhaps you did something wrong there. I've never had problems with PS and exporting/saving to certain formats.
Still TGA support has been a problem with TheGIMP, not just when it comes to color translations. Remember the issues with their RLE-compressed files and the random 'can't read file' stuff?
I'm not bashing TheGimp, it's a great tool with an unbeatable price indeed, but it's not perfect,
Cheers

Phemox: Maybe you did not remember my posts. I never had problems with TGA in GIMP. I use them without any changes in A6, Lightwave and so on. Alpha channel is fine. PS made the problem. But never mind. I will not use it

I use GIMP on my computer, because I'm cheap. But my friend Mike that is helping me with my textures uses PS9(or)10. When we send file back and forth void of the format (usually 24/32 bit TGA), we do not have the problems you are all stating...
Is this whole rant based off one users problem, or are others also having this issue?

I've been using it for a while and i love it. But when it comes to building websites nothing beats photoshop. Maybe i'll have to upgrade my CS

Hiya Quick question about The GIMP: Is it possible yet to have a "single window" for the program, where all the sub-panels/windows are not all "floating on the desktop"? When I'm doing texture tweeking, I have a few programs open. For example, I might have XSI, Painter 9.5, Winamp, UlimateUnwrap3d, and the A6 engine trio (WED, MED and SED). Yes, a lot of programs, I know. But my computer handles it all quite nicely.  Anyway, with The GIMP, when I open it I get a LOT of 'windows' open...each one had their own, uh, hmm...you know, 'rectangle' at the bottom of the screen in the "Taskbar" area. That's a LOT of things on that bottom taskbar. Also, if I click on one of the GIMP window/taskbars, only it opens...all the rest of the GIMP windows/taskbars don't...so I have to indivicually click them. If I take a quick look at something in one of the other programs, when I want to go back to the GIMP I once again have to click on every single one. Heaven forfend if I accidentally click some 'background' program when working in GIMP...I have to then re-click all the GIMP windows/taskbars again. So, did this get fixed in GIMP now? Is it more like a 'normal' program in that it has it's own 'screen-workspace'? Or is it still a collection of 'mini-windows'?

Hiya. Ok. Maybe I'll DL GIMP and give it another whirl.
