Multiple maps in RGB channels?

G3L

How do I place different maps in the RGB channels in Photoshop? Once that's finished I save the file out as a 32 bit TGA? Haven't done this in a while and need a reminder...

For example, I want my spec map in the red channel, heightmap in the blue and alpha/mask in the green channel. Wanted to just use one texture and have all three of those in each RGB slot.

Switch to the channels tab, select the specific channel, and paste the map into it.
I think 24bit TGA should work fine if it is just RGB, and 32bit for RGBA

Yep that did it! Thanks once again Cryrid! You've been helping me out as of late!

Another tip for when you're working with a layered PSD is to have a layer group for each channel. Double click on the layer group, and pick the channel you want that layer group to be.
