The GIMP & Alpha
Author
Why can''t I control the Alpha channel in GIMP? I''d like to be able to assign it a value from 0 to 255. Why can''t I do this? What''s the best way to use GIMP & alpha in harmony?

Oh, that''s easy 
You just have to create a so called ''layer mask'' and draw on it, paint, cut, paste, apply filters or whatever else you can think of..

Hope that helps...
btw. It''s always handy to have that ''layers and channels'' dialog onscreen.. you really can do everything with those layers.
