The '''alpha channel''' is the fourth channel of an image, where the first three channels are red, green, and blue.  Generally, a [[TGA]] file can be saved with just the [[RGB]] channels (24bit), or with all four channels (32bit). In Source, it is used to define either transparency or self-illumination.
