For baking, I need alpha only images.
Generally, I think the image class should be as user friendly and
flexible as possible. I don't think the optimization is worth
complicating the interface. Keep in mind that images don't need to be
decoded unless the user wants to manipulate them.

I would think you would get less page cache misses if you use a
structure since the code generally uses the Alpha channel with
the color channels.
I also don't see anywhere you would have just an Alpha and not a full
RGB pixel. The packed structure takes one 32 bit word and therefore
would not use that much more ram even when the Alpha channel is not
used.
#pragma pack(push)
#pragma pack(1) //pack the structure itself.
typedef struct tagRGBQUADA {
BYTE Red; //LSB first on Intel processors.
BYTE Green; //The order only matters if a union is used.
BYTE Blue;
BYTE Alpha;
} RGBQUADA;
#pragma pack(pop) //back to default packing

public class Image

public RGBQUADA[] Pixels;
public byte[] Bump;
public bool AlphaChannelUsed; //true if actually used.
public Create(int width, int height, bool bRGB, bool bBump)
int n = width * height;
if (bRGB) Pixels = new RGBQUADA[n];
if (bBump) Bump = new byte[n];
}; //create
