I've got a little disapointed trying to figure out how to do alpha transparency for model skins with the paint program I currently use ( Photoshop Lite) So I Started learning How to use GIMP today

Thought I'd post a flame iamge I created from starting to learn GIMP



I have figured out how to make part of a skin totaly transparent using GIMP but i havn;t figured out yet how to do a gradient transparency.

So far I havn't had to use the transparency sort material script on what I've tested.


Any suggestions, pointers or point in direction of a GIMP tutorial on making gradient transparents in a skin?
