They'd better make the alpha channel an editable channel. That's all I have to say. |

Slime, in what way do you find you can't edit alpha channels? |

Additive blending would certainly make my day. The only way of getting something close is by using multiple copies of the same layer stacked on top of each other with different blend modes, opacity levels and blurriness (colour dodge, screen and overlay combos worked wonders for the twilight-muse images I did a ways back) but it's impossible to remember exactly what settings work and what don't. |

Slime: I don't understand in what way you can't edit the alpha channel or the mask of a layer. When you ALT+click on a layer mask in the LAYERs pannel, you'll see the mask in B&W but you can also edit it as a normal layer i.e. use any tools / filters / transformations ... |

I'm saying, one should be able to edit the alpha channel just as easily as editing the red, green, or blue channels. It should be in the channels pallette. I don't want to have to change my selection to do it. |

Haven't alpha chennels always been in the channels pallette? I seem to remember them there from as far back as photoshop 4. |

Photoshop 6 here: I make a new layer, paint on it with the airbrush, and in the channels pallette, there's RGB, Red, Green, and Blue. No alpha. |

Slime: Oh. I see. Indeed Photoshop considers the alpha implicitly. But it'd great to see it explicitly appear either in the alpha channel ( which is closer to the internal representaion of colors ) or in a mask ( which always exists but is only made available when the user asks for it ). |
