I have this image, that I want to make the blue color about 20 % or More transparent, so that you can see thru the color.
I tried the "Color to alpha" option in GIMP, but it's not working.
How do i do it.

0) be sure to have an alpha channel on the layer (Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel)
1) use Colors > Color to Alpha... to make the blue full transparent
2) use Colors > Levels...
- select the Alpha channel in the Channel: dropdown list
- in the Output Levels, move the black triangle to the right

# 1 - I was able to get the same result (80%) or something very close since the opacity was visually adjusted.
# 2 - Wow! Excellent technique! I would never have dreamed of something like that.
# 3 - Ehh ... I didn't find Edit-Fade. Any specific scripts?
I believe these tips will be very useful, I need to memorize them.
Ofnuts, thank you very much!
