alpha channel problem? Problem with .blp itself?

i think it has to do with photoshop. because it seems that my skins never work when i save anything as a tga. so now i have to save it as a bmp or jpeg, then edit it in paint shop pro. but i need to save somtheing as a tga sice i was dion a skin of gollum as you can noice that some parts were alpha out. im sure that i removed the parts correctly since it was able to load in the wc3viewer when i changed the ghoul's textures. the skin isnt finished but this is what i was trying to get at so far

there is already a ghoul model. ask andy on wc3c.

did you save your skins as 32-bits?

and do you have an 'Alpha1' in the Channel tabs, next to the layer tab?

 

[Afronight_76]

well i did this skin just becaus i wanted to. and i did save it as a 32-bit. but im not really familiar with the 'Alpha1' in the Channel tabs.

Did something erase the alpha channels?
