How do i save a file as 32 bit .TGA? Trying to do some skinning for an aircraft in Wings over Europe, but it's not working correctly.
TIA

Ok opened it with Photofiltre then resaved and now it works. Compression issue.

Would still like to know how to do it in Gimp though.

No info about Gimp but keep in mind TGAs don't support 32 bit unless they've got an alpha layer. A TGA can only be 24 bit without the alpha. Maybe adding an alpha in Gimp will make it 32 bit?

Hey Stormtrooper, try using the menu option "Layer : Transparency : Add Alpha Layer". That seemed to generate a blank alpha layer and successfully saved it in the .TGA format.
