Sometimes I receive files with alpha channels that I want to get rid of. In the file I have now when I remove the alpha channel a black background pops in and I lose the text. Is there an easy way to remove the alpha channel and not have this happen? Or perhaps to make a selction from the alpha channel before I kill it?

Oops, duh. How about "load channel as selection…" OK, its early and I’m not awake yet, yeah, that must be the reason…

As Gilda Radner would say, "Never mind!"
