My cousin asked me a good question, and I can’t answer him… How do we do to open a PNG that is in RGBA without having the transparency applied automatically?
That transparency is a problem as what is totally transparent on a layer is lost in Photoshop (in the age of non-destructive editing, and huge hard drives, it sounds so oldskool), so, there is no way to stack layers to retreive 100% opacity everywhere?
BUT, the data is stored in RGB+A, so the data IS in the file (my cousin is coding a 3D environment (see <http://jfdegbo.blogspot.com/> for a work in progress in French), and had coded a way to retrieve the RGB data only, but would like to do so in Photoshop.
I already looked on what Trevor Morris has on its site, but might have missed the answer. It might be as simple as a shortcut, but I haven’t yet found it. Found nothing in the PS MAC and PS PC archives…
Thanks by advance!
