You could use a layer mask but that's overkill if all you're looking to do is uniformly halve the tile's opacity. Originally posted by Caethyril:A layer mask is a layer assigned to another layer for, e.g., specifying an alpha gradient. You could use one here, but I feel using an eraser or a new layer (as you suggested) are more straightforward approaches. Multiple layers can be intimidating to people new to this sort of thing, whereas everyone knows what an eraser does! =) Yeah, I know. Indeed I thought you meant my approach was overkill.
Yeah I see what you mean, but working with layers is an essential to make good tilesets/sprites or anything you do with gimp. I always advice new users to gimp (or PS), to figure out layers first.
I have met many who are very inventive with their solutions, but those solutions are often over complicated cause they don't use layers. In this case it wouldn't make a difference at all, though.
