How do i create a Transparent Texture?

Folks, How do i create a Transparent Texture that i can save as a .tga and then convert to a .dds file?

Can you help me?

In Gimp the transparency is controlled by the "alpha channel" (the first layer of an image doesn't get an alpha channel by default but it can be added). In many ways it behaves like a color channel, except when compositing the image: in that channel, a value of 0 means the pixel is fully transparent, while 1 makes the pixel fully opaque, and intermediate values map to partial transparency.

If a layer has an alpha channel, erased pixels (eraser tool, or selection+delete) become transparent.

The alpha channel can be edited separately through the "layer mask".
