Gimp colour loss warning

Is this really necessary, given that saving as PNG allows colour information to be saved for completely transparent values, and the resulting PNG files can be imported into VTFEdit quite happily? It's not true to say that there's no workaround, it's just not default behaviour when saving as TGA. Longsight 18:42, 29 Aug 2008 (PDT)
