    I am new to photoshop, I have a picture with two people. I used a mask to cut out each peson now I want to save the cutout with an alpha channel so I can comp them. I know this is photoshop 101 but I have never learned how to do this.

    Thank you
    Mark

    You can save a TIFF or a Photoshop with an alpha. I don’t think Jpeg, GIF, PICT or PNG support alpha channesl.

    Hope this helps-

    Do you want the alpha channel to include both people or a separate alpha channel for each?
