i have a question about skinning

ive skinned uther's texture using some paintbrush in adobe photoshop, and saved each minute, while im done skinning it, i saved it(TGA) and exit photoshop without applying the alpha channels, then i go to magos wc3 editor, and changed uther's skin to my skin, after it was loaded, the cape of uther didnt match any player colors, i mean it always remain white, even if i didnt included the cape for skinning

my question is, do i have to apply alpha on my texture before saving it?

I think so, wc3 viewer wants you to any way and its not gunna have team color with out alpha.

Without alphas, the skin will look extremely weird
You need to download a certain add-on to Photoshop..
Not sure WHERE the link is, but ones lying about
Try Googling alpha channels, Adobe Photoshop

Um... you don't need any fancy plug-ins for Photoshop channels...

Go to the Channel window, then select Create new channel (one button to the right of the Trash Can/Delete Channel).
