I’ve seen all sorts of archived forum topics on how to convert a particular colour to alpha, but I found the only way to do it while taking into account levels of that colour was to go to layer > layer style > blending options… and set the mode to ‘multiply’.
In practical terms, this does exactly what I wanted. I had some heavily anti-aliased text on white in the layer in question, and now the layers below come through fine where the white is
BUT
the white is still there. Flattening the layer just discards the blending options, and generally I can’t export this as an alpha png-24. Is there any way I can ‘solidify’ or rasterise the effects of the layer style?
