ImageGear can load extra channels from TIFF and PSD file formats. The extra channels are internally stored as specified above and saved back as extra channels when the output format is either TIFF or PSD. Spot color support is added to the raster color conversion mechanism, so when saving an image to a format that doesn't support extra channels, the image spot channels are blended to the base channels. The alpha channels are skipped in this case.
