I seem to be missing a basic concept. If I open an image with alpha channel, I can't find any way to edit the alpha channel. I end up using other software to save the alpha as a grayscale and editing that. That requires converting my 24 bit image to grayscale too so I can load the alpha as a layer for editing. What I want is to keep the 24 bit rgb image and edit the alpha as an 8 bit layer. FWIW, I generally use 32 bit targa format for editing image with alpha., because I don't have any filter for directX compressed formats (DXT1, DXT3).
