 +====== GIMP Transparent Tutorial ======

 +GIMP's Color to Alpha tool is very handy if you know how to use it, and this task seems particularly well suited for it:
 +
 +  - Open the image in GIMP, and change it to RGB color mode if necessary
 +  - Select Layer -> Transparency -> Color to Alpha...
 +  - Select black (#000000) as the color to make transparent
 +  - Click "OK"
 +  - Save the resulting image in PNG format
