Alpha Mask and Gimp Gone Crazy

Started having crazy behavior with my Twilight alpha mask and Gimp. Going through the proper procedure , open Gimp with my Twilight render image , right click add alpha mask to image. Do a copy and paste with Twilight alpha mask and anchor the floating layer. Problem is I'm getting a partially transparent final image. When I import the image to use in the masked area it ghosts through the whole image. Any ideas whats happening ? Posting an example image.... :wall: :!

Agree with Alvydas, when you save your Alpha Mask Rendering from Twilight Render be SURE to have Tone Mapping and all post Processing set to NONE. :!:
