A system and a method for using non-alpha channel image data in an alpha channel-recognition environment are provided to allow a non-alpha channel recognition application to write pixel data in a pixel data file, and reduce a processing time and an error possibility. The initialization is done before a pixel data file has been acted on by the non-alpha-channel-aware application(510). The pixel data file is used by the non-alpha channel recognition application which writes an image into the pixel data file by changing pixel data values of some of all the pixels(520). Each alpha value of all the pixels are reduced by 1(530). The pixel data file having an image is used in an alpha channel recognition environment(540).
