Will someone think of creating a tool for Red so we can batch process custom decal textures to put the 1 pixel alpha transparency border on the edges instead of having to add it manually in Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop working with only one texture at a time ?

Also it would be nice if we had a tool also that would just change normal textures into transparent textures by a similar process, or even invert the texture and make it transparent so it could be done quickly and not have to mess around.

Its called photoshop
Use the magic wand, copy, create an alpha channel, paste, change the gradient to black, save ... colour should now be transparent

Wait, that will only work for blocks of colours ... not every bit that is the same colour in one image

i jment a program that makes all of a piticular color in an image transparent, i know its possible. and i know it has been done. do you realy think that people who have textures for trees acually took the time to make every little tiny spot in the tree transparent where needed?
