rgb files

I've been hacking the rbg files. Can anyone tell me the transparency color? I am converting them to bmp or jpg, making the changes and converting them back.

there is no "transperancy color" they use a full alpha channel, change them to a format that supports alpha ( bmp, and jpeg do not), like PNG or TGA.

The SGI/RGB file format uses a separate alpha channel, not a transparency color. This lets you blend the transparency (make areas semitransparent) rather than having the whole on/off thing going.

The 1.10 version uses png files anyway

Thanks. We just got the 1.9.8 version, which uses png so it's not an issue. We had been playing rabbit in 6.26.
