You could try this plugin:

It works like this:

If you need help installing plugins, read this page:

Or, if you're looking to go the other direction (that is, import your alpha values from a file), try this plugin:

I think he means the apha channel object.

I have no idea where it is...

There is no "alpha channel object". Every pixel has an alpha value -- it is not a separate entity.

However, that does not remove the benefit of having something like layer masks, which non-destructively transform the alpha channel. Paint.NET just won't have something like that until v4.00.

I mean the Alpha Mask plugin thing...
