We'll learn how to create a transparent image with Alpha Channel from a standard image. The grey checkboard-like pattern shows the transparency of the image. The result produces a 32 BPP (Bit Per Pixel) transparent image. In the illustration below you see how the alpha channel is applied to the original image to remove (visually) the orange gradient background. The resulting image is called RGBA (RGB+A, A means alpha channel). Alpha channels are usually used with 16.8M color RGB images. For example, 50 percent gray allows for 50 percent visibility. The level of gray in between determines the level of visibility. White acts as the visible area black acts as the transparent area (you see the background behind the image when displayed).

The alpha channel is an 8-bit channel, which means it has 256 levels of gray from 0 (black) to 255 (white).
