I can convert from colour to alpha, but I need to convert from alpha to color.

I have created an image containing only white text and I want to convert the semi-transparent pixels (the text smoothing) to different values of white (0-254, 0 being black, 255 being white which is the text color) and then export it to a 8-bit raw image data.

How can I do this?

Two ways:

  1. Add a layer below and fill it with black
  2. Paint directly on the text layer (bucket-fill or else) with the paint tool in Behind mode.

  • I was waay over the board, hah. Do you happen to know if GIMP can export to it to a 8 bit raw pixel data now?

  • File > Export and in the file selector at the bottom pick "Raw image data". And cross fingers, because "raw" is not that well defined.
