Gradient alpha values are typically used to blend an overlay picture onto another image or into a web page.Intermediate values determine how much of the background should be blended with the pixel's RGB value. An alpha channel value of 100% (white) means that the RGB value is completely opaque (non-transparent). With the scaled value, 0% (black) denotes a location in the image where there should be complete transparency - the RGB value is ignored and the background is completely visible. With most image formats, the alpha channel is either boolean or a value from 0% to 100% (or 0 to 255 in byte values). The resulting RGBA image defines the visible colors and the degree of transparency. A fourth channel, called alpha (denoted by the letter "A") can be combined to define a transparency level. Pictures are not limited to three color channels. These three color planes are called channels the red color channel stores all of the red intensities, the green channel stores green intensities, and blue stores blue intensities. When pictures are rendered on the computer screen, colors are created by combining red, green, and blue components.
