According to http://docs.opencv.org/modules/highgui/doc/reading_and_writing_images_and_video.html the "-1" in

Mat img = imread(filename, -1);

enables reading alpha channels but actually it does not work.

Could you explain it?

The images are in tiff format.

tiff support is a bit sparse in opencv, but it works with png.

Thank you @berak. Do you mean imread can read alpha channels in png files?
