			# Load the RMA texture
			# Colors->Components->Decompose (this is going to create a SEPARATE image with each channel being one layer)
			# Do your changes (example resize) on the new image and the old image if needed
			# Select the first image and Colors->Components->Recompose (This will take the changed layers and copy them into the source image)

Channel packing is a way of combining grayscale masks or textures into a single image by placing them within the RGB channels of a color image.

First, create the individual textures. For example, in a tint mask for the Nolthrirf arms, create a simple black and white mask of the skin in the character texture.

Once you have created your three desired textures, make sure your image mode is set to grayscale. (Image>Mode in Gimp)
Next, compose the layers into a map (Colors>Compose in Gimp)

Choose RGB for 3 textures and assign the textures you made to the correct (according to the standards on the materials page) channels (R, G, and B).

This will create the packed texture.
