Viewing Alphas

[Alexanderthefantastic]

This should be a short question...
How do I view Alpha Channels with Irfanview? I want to do something with faction symbols

I use free DTXBmp utility to view and edit alphas.

I punted trying to use GIMP for direct alpha editing. I can't seem to copy and paste the alpha with it--probably some sort of bizarre trick to it since using "copy" and "paste" isn't working. So I've switched to using DXTBmp to load and save, and exporting/importing from/to MSPaint as the alpha editor when I simply need to cut and paste. So far, this works, and *intuitively*...unlike GIMP unfortunately.

Can you give me an idiot friendly way to get to this 'DTXBmp'

thing please?
