How to edit a texture with an alpha channel?

[rlaugh0095]

Hey guys, I need advice. I've come up on a texture with an alpha channel and I have no idea how to edit it. o.o
The program Im using is gimp 2. Ideally Id like to replace the old texture with something new.

Paint.NET is what I use for texture editing: http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

It's free and it can see and edit the alpha channel however you want. Its magic wand tool is also very useful.

Woo, i'll have to give that a try.

GIMP can edit stuff with alpha transparency. Is the problem unfamiliarity with GIMP in general? Use whatever works best for you, I'm just curious what's the trouble.
