Has anyone ever had this happen to them?

(originally posted on postforum with no answer)

I have my color channel and Alpha channel enabled using the multichannel mode. HOWEVER as I am painting, at some point the alpha channel no longer remains active--and I have to go back and create an alpha channel manually. Its happenned more than once.

i make sure both the color channel and the alpha channel have the pencil turned on next to them in the layers manager and multichannel checked in the BP menu bar. As I said, it starts off working fine, but the apha channel poops out when Im well into having painted. this only happens to the alpha channel--not the bump, specular, etc.

Thanks

Thanks Kai. If I'm really careful and keep my eye on the alpha I can insure that it stays active--in fact the last session I had it stayed active the whole time.

Unfotunately, I'm also having problems having the alpha properly created, and almost always have to do some post processing and re create my alpha channel. This could just be a "user error".

Its good to know theres a bug and its not just me.
