Hi,

In CS, I have a colored .rgb(.sgi) image that has embedded transparency. I need to remove this, making the color channels opaque, and save it into an alpha channel.

Any ideas? I’m stumped.

Step 1: Load the transparency as a selection (Select->Load Selection).

Step 2: Save the selection to a new channel.

Step 3: Flatten the image.
