[...example skipped...] Your example is fine, except for the last step using Noisify on the alpha channel. As Adam pointed out in his previous messages, the correct way to acheive the same effect would be to use Noisify on a layer mask, not on the alpha channel. Noisify and other plug-ins such as Hurl/Pick/Slur should never make a transparent pixel non-transparent (except maybe by working with pre-multiplied alpha, as I suggested in the bug report). So either we completely disable the option to work on the alpha channel, or we change the code in such a way that the noise can only increase the transparency, but not decrease it (i.e., "creating" color in a transparent area). -Raphaël
