transparent overview pics?

[.pablo.]

i'm experimenting with making overview pictures, and i'm trying to figure out how to add transparency; i'm pretty sure i need to use the .paa format to do that, but i don't know anything else!  what i need to know is:

what kind of image editing program would i use to save files as .paa or .pac?

what's the difference between .paa and .pac?

how do i add transparency to an image?

Save your picture as .tga, open in texview and convert to .paa
