Help with Alphas

I have just started making clothes and I'm using GIMP. I can use the basic alphas with no problem, but i have seen others that can be used to make the clothes look alot better, can anyone help me out either with where to find them or how to make them.

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask. Alpha is the name of the channel that governs transparency in an image. What do you mean when you say "basic alphas" and "others that can be used to make the clothes look alot better"?

I'll take a stab at a guess here and assume by "basic alpha" you mean the transparency channel, and by "others that can be used to make the clothes look alot better" you're referring to other purposes for which alpha channels can be used, such as lighting maps or bump maps. If we were talking Photoshop, I could tell you how to do those things, but I haven't had time yet really to dive into GIMP to see how it handles them.

Maybe that's not what you meant though since you asked "where to find them". That's the part that really confused me. I would assume you were asking where to find the tools inside GIMP for using alpha channels in different ways, but since the same sentence also asked "or how to make them", that assumption doesn't seem right. You wouldn't be asking how to make tools.

So, what exactly are you trying to ask?
