Subject: [Gimp-user] Grayscale and alpha layers

Is there any way I can directly make a grayscale image into an alpha transparency channel?

I mean, NOT involving selection? Because selection by color to layer mask, is really fucking up what I need to do thanks to the selection threshold.

Why is it damn easy to turn an alpha channel into a grayscale image but not the reverse?

The fastest way is to perform a Color to Alpha transition (under Layers > Transparency) using black as the background color.  Black becomes transparent, white becomes opaque.
