Here’s what I’m trying to do…
I have a BMP file already created with a red background and a white anti-aliased object drawn over that background.
Basically I would like to substitute the degree of red showing for any pixel for a degree of transparency instead.
So where you see the red background, I’d like 100% transparent, where you see the red faded because of the anti-aliasing of the white object, to maybe 50% saturation, I’d like 50% transparency, etc, etc. In the end I’m looking for a ICO file, so I was looking to take the BMP to PNG then run it through an ICO program later.
Is this possible? I wasn’t sure how to do this in Adobe.
