It's a linux based bit of software (thats why it's free and safe to use), but it will run on windows or mac as well. in GIMP to achieve this effect you'd go to colors/desaturate (to make it black and white) then turn the layer opacity down to 30-50%

opened random globe image in GIMP. cropped tight to globe. right clicked on layer and: add alpha channel (to make it so there's a clear background). use: colors/desaturate. reduced layer opacity to 60% so its see through.

Would the Agma software recognize these semi-transparent pixels? Are semi-transparent pixels even universal? @samira also mentioned this to me, I should look into it.

Lol this effect initially really bothered me but I am learning to love it. I am glad you like it!
