hey, it's simple but you need the targa plug-in to see the alpha channel in PS7 you can get it here.

Alphaing is used to make parts of the skin transparent,
add effects and on most all of the player color areas.

The RGB is not for really anything other than seeing where/how the 3 main colors are effecting the image, it has more to do with color masking and such, which you most likly will not use for skins, that stuff is more for image manipulation and restoration.
