Problem to GIMP (and MS paint)
Hi,
I need the way to select one area and insert color inside, while the background details are still shown, to the picture, in GIMP.
Or is it not achievable to this, in MS paint?

Sorry, I cannot choose "Color to Alpha" below
I would create a new layer with a Layer Fill Type of Transparency. Once you do that, select the area that you would like to apply your color fill to. Select your color and then select the Bucket tool. Once you select the Bucket tool, look in your Tool options and change the Opacity to whatever setting you like. Then fill the area you had previously selected, and you should get what you want.
Alternatively, you can change the opacity for the entire layer by selecting the layer and setting the Opacity to whatever you like.

The version being used in above, seems to be different from my current one.
I've followed the steps and can't achieve the result. Is the highlighted icon below the 3rd icon selected to the above video?

However the problem is that you did not select the correct tool - Bucket fill is what you need to choose (to the right of the Text tool - letter A), not the Rotate tool
Software
Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Other experts will likely be able to advise you better, but if this is similar to what you wanted to do in your other question, I think what you need to do is use a Transparent color to fill with. I found a good example on Stack Exchange that describes the process.

If that doesn't help, post a screenshot explaining exactly what you want to achieve and either I or another expert will try to give you step by step instructions to how it's done.
Hope that's helpful.
