Default Alpha Channels: is it possible...?

Is it possible to import the alpha channel from another file? For example import the alpha channel from the default Windows_pieces04 into your modified Windows_pieces04? Or maybe edit the alpha channel directly?

If so, it would make some things a bit easier.

Yes this is possible, but it all depends on what graphics program you are using. Photoshop, and the derivitives there of, can edit the alpha channels directly and easily so i would recommend it for this purpose.

alpha channels are draggable from one pic to another in photoshop, just like layers and selections. Very handy!

Ah....I use PaintShop Pro 7, and have yet to figure out how to edit the alpha channel directly (I'm not a pro at working on the PC for graphics, I'm a comic book artist from the old school that, and I'm only about 4chapters into the manual, ehh heh ). If I can't figure it out, perhaps I'll be looking into Photoshop.

Thanks
