I've been working with this stuff for a long time and I only recently finally figured out how to add an alpha channel... Take a look at the "Mysty Mood" Manual, there is a good tutorial in the documentation to use Gimp for creating alpha channels. But... here's good news... I sent you the fixed up leaf pic to your yahoo email address that is under your profile! Please let me know if it works ok for you... P.S. I see you are a Michigan resident too... Good to meet ya!

The original you posted had the alpha channel set but it was almost entirly black. Therefore, it didn't show up at all... I suggest you try your work run through the engine that has code attached. Then see what ya got... Best of luck...

Because he just copied the image into the alpha channel (transparency = pixel brightness). But you need the actual contour of the leave: correct alpha channel @ TerraSame: you should follow your own advice: Quote: You really need to learn about Masks and Alpha Channels...
