As far as i know you cant make alpha maps on photoshop, you have to do it in paintshop pro, which can be gotten here,

you cant make alpha maps on photoshop
dude........plz.
Its not done exactly the way on photoshop pro but adobe has everything in there (except the background transparency is way more complicated than a program called Corel Draw where you can achieve the effect with 1 button).

Use the channels tab (it's next to the layers tab), select Alpha as the current channel. If alpha doesn't exist (if you only see the RGB channels), create a new channel by using the little icon at the bottom of the tab. Select the alpha channel as your active channel and edit away.
