>> Is there a way of deleting an RGB channel and maintainig a colour image or replicating the effect some other way? <<
Amanda, this is one way - although perhaps not the way. <g> Presuming a layer or a dupe of the flat background into a layer. Layer Style > Blending Options: uncheck the B channel in advanced blending. Add a new blank layer above the layer sans the B channel. Merge these two channels into one (cmd/ctrl E). BTW - This is also the way to access the 'hidden' transparency gained through the use of layer option blend if sliders as regular transparency is handled as with a cmd/ctrl click on the layer thumb (although merging removes any option to tweak the options again).
