An Alpha Channel is a mask. Generally grey is translucent (see-throughable but you can still see it slightly), white is opaque, and black is translucent. I have never used the program you are using but try looking for Masks on the toolbar. That how it is with PSP.

If it's so difficult getting an alpha channel then try without one: see
[url:e9370]http://www.alliedassault.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=144318[/url:e9370]

and follow the link in that thread. (btw I used adobe 6.0 when made my "alpha channel" loading pic.
