Need Help With the TC an the Alpha Channel.

[Xezko]

Well, as everybody know, i'm new in the skinning for Wc3, for that reason i need help understanding the damn TC and the alpha channel.
I know somethings (For example, how to 'delete' the tc, making it alpha at 1% trasparent..) but i need to know how the alpha channel works on the models (why when i edit the alpha channel of the TC the model does ignores the alpha channel) and i need to know how to change the place and the size/form of the TC without destroy the rest of the alpha job.
I think is somebody can help me, or anyone post a really useful tutorial to how to do that, its will benefit to a lot of people.

thanks to all ahead of time to contribute with your help.


PS: If it is possible, i need how to do this on Photoshop 10 CS3.

TC is easy. All you need to do is apply regular shading on the RGB chanels, then CTRL+I them and copy it onto your alpha channel
