the process of editing tga files with GIMP is so easy now and im about to give out the steps soon im going to make a video.
1. right click on the TGA file and click on edit with GIMP.
2. GIMP will open up and then you see the image you want to edit.
3. if gimp doesn't have all the tools you want to edit your image with then go to file click on save as then a menu will come up and go to the bottom of that menu and look for file extension type with a + in a box then go down to bmp and click on it, then press save as.
4. go back to the folder with all the parts of your train, track, etc. and you will see your image in bmp format and in tga format.
5. right click on your bmp image and click edit, now your image is able to edit with paint.net so you can do what ever you want(EDITING) with the image.
6. after your done editing save the image as a tga then a menu pop saying overwrite the changes, click yes.
7. go back to your folder and delete the bmp image and open up the tga image with GIMP.
8. go to file, click on save as and the file extension menu will pop up from #2 that i was talking about and save as tga then it will sat replace or cancel click replace, then another menu will pop up click on export and another menu will say rle compressed with a check, uncheck it and its all saved.
