Im a newbie: Alpha transperancies?

[laura-101-2]

i know this is probably REALLY simple - but its stumped me..

worked out so far how to apply an image texture, (TGA file) it acknowledges theres an alpha channel and cuts out the rest of the picture - but the object is still there as a grey material.... what else should i be doing to make that part dissapear??

thanks for your patience

Create a Pick_channel node, set it to Alpha.
Connect your texture's Image node into it.
Connect the Pick_channel in the Transparency input of the surface shader.

Hope this helps
