Warning: Newbie ahead…
Given two images: a background image and an image with a logo in a corner.
Having superimposed the logo over the image with 50% opacity, I have then flattened the image and saved it.
Question: How do I get back the original image?
(I do have it, it’s just that this seems a good example to learn the most basic image editing.)
I (think I ) know how to do this in theory (correct me if I’m wrong): – make a mask using the logo image (done that with threshold) – invert mask so changes are only applied to the logo area (done) – save this mask as alpha channel (done)
Now what?
– create a layer with inverted logo image (to cancel out the logo) ??? – apply this logo layer to flattened image through the mask (stumped?)
How do I do this? Baby steps, please!
Thanks!
Don.
