I'm struggling to understand how to create an alpha channel in photoshop for one of my textures. I know now how to make an alpha channel but not sure how I'm suppose to fill it in. Is there any guide or tutorial for this?
The alpha channel is essentially a grayscale layer of information, with white and black as negative and positive values.
For Team colors on diffuse, color black for 100% team color and white for 0%, different shades of gray give different opacity levels.
For Transparency, white is 100% transparent and black is 100% opaque.
If you need a visual guide I can post one, but at the current time I am tired and don't want to :P

@Roar_Man: Go
Go to the channels tab, hit the "create new channel" button.
Select the alpha channel and color in the area you want team color on.

Depends on what you need the alpha channel to do.
