Alpha Mode Faded Out?

[Spruce Evergreen]

Hello all.

First and foremost I'm grateful and appreciative for any help you can throw my way.

I've never had this issue before and I'm baffled.  In Second Life the "Alpha Mode" box on my texturing tab is faded out. I believe I've done all the necessary steps for this window to show up properly.

My normal and spec maps are set to none. I utilize Blender for my models, and substance painter for my texturing.  In Substance painter, I made my fill layer, have color & opacity set. set color to black, and uploaded my texture as an alpha, etc... I do all of this when I make shadows for my products in SL and have never had this issue before. 

What am i missing or what could be causing the box to remain faded?

Again, thank you kindly for your help & time!

It does mean that the texture doesn't have an alpha channel. I'd double check my export settings.

Thinking of it, the viewer does strip alpha channels when the alpha channel is just plain white all over. Something to check for as well.

I appreciate the responses! It was indeed a strange export setting my computer decided to randomly implement!
