I am new to Gimp, and I am trying to get color to alpha without it changing all my other colors.

Color-to-alpha only applies to the selection, so you can restrict its
effects by doing a selection first.

Hi TAB004, welcome to Gimp Chat. You say you are new to Gimp. Do you know how to make a selection?

Two of the selection tools the Fuzzy Selection Tool :fuzzsel

frequently called the Magic Want, and the Select by Color Tool :colsel

.

Clicking the Fuzzy Selection tool and clicking an area will select the region of the same color. The Select by Color tool will pick all of the areas of the same color you choose.

Come back and let us know if you have enough information with this to continue your project.
