lol only thing i can figure out is the alpha channel is similar to a transparency map for the combined color channels... the lighter the pixel the more solid it is.. the darker, the more transparent...

tried making a drawing on the background layer then switched to channels and added the alpha channel and did a gradient fill... switched back to the background layer and the image fades out gradually... pretty cool effect..
