Alpha change on the Image Texture

I think there should be the control of the alpha on the image texture instead of going in the Node properties menu.

Huh! I didn't know it was in that side panel. I always did it in the side panel of the image editor. Makes more sense to be in the image editor.
It's probably not in the Node UI because it's not actually a Node setting. The setting is linked to the image; not the Node. If you change that setting in one Node, all other Nodes with the same image will also change.
I wonder if it would be of benefit to move that setting to the Nodes.
This way you could use different Alpha types Per node. But I am not sure where else this Alpha setting is used so I don't know what other implications that would introduce.

* @LilacDogoo * Some textures are channel packed so some parts of the image is only accessible if you change the image to channel packed.
