How to remove alpha channel?

For some Latex application, I have to crop some image. I load a tiff into GIMP. It will be one gray channel only. I copy some part of the image and include it as a new image. This new image has, unfortunately for me, been added an alpha channel. There seem to be no way to remove the alpha channel or, as an alternative, to store a tiff without alpha channel. Simply spoken: I do not want alpha channels in my tiffs.

Thanks for a hint.

Quoting Joerg Bergmann :

Use the menu command "Image->Flatten" to remove the alpha channel before saving.

You can also define a keyboard shortcut for this, so that you don't have to do it manually via the menu each time. In my Gimp 2.4.7, it can be done via "File > Keyboard Shortcuts".

HTH,
