Alpha channel controls bloom, the whiter an area is, more bloom you will see.

In Photoshop, add the Alpha channel by selecting the Channel tab and clicking "create new channel" button at the bottom.
By the way, if you ever have a mundane problem such as this, it always pays off to check out the built-in help. Not a criticism, its just that I know few people do that. I learned 3DMax from scratch from its built-in help.

No problem. Oh and, alpha channels are always black and white. So you don't have many color choices. ;)
