# ChannelsProvider.RemoveAlpha Method 
 
Removes the alpha channel from the current bitmap. Alpha channel is just discarded without affecting other channels.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public void RemoveAlpha()
```
 
## Remarks
 This method does not flatten the alpha channel (it will be discarded without additional processing). If you need to flatten the alpha channel by blending it with some color, use [RemoveAlpha(Color)](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_ChannelsProvider_RemoveAlpha_1_929597d9.htm.md) version of this method.
