Alpha Channel: An alpha channel is a mask layer used to control image transparency, seen as a grayscale image.

Split: Replaces the alpha bitmap with two layers (a 24-bit image without transparency, and an 8-bit grayscale with transparency data).
Combine: Create a 32-bit alpha bitmap by combining a 24-bit image and an 8-bit grayscale image.
Create Blank Alpha: Create a 32-bit alpha bitmap with a blank 8-bit grayscale image.
Mask White: Create a 32-bit alpha bitmap with an opaque white 8-bit grayscale image (useful for creating an underbase).
Make More Visible: Adjust the transparency of an alpha bitmap to be more opaque.
Make Less Visible: Adjust the transparency of an alpha bitmap to be more transparent.
Create Prime: Define a white underbase with the grayscale once your alpha channel data is set up.

Edit with Gimp: Launch Gimp to edit image.
