Incorrect Alphas/Transparency show in documents
I’m getting incorrect transparency showing in documents in the latest version of Photoshop. I’ve had to roll back to 2025 for documents to work correctly.
In the below image you’ll be able to see a faint outline of the underlying transparency/alphas that are in my photoshop document.
As you can see, I’ve got a solid colour fill at the top of the stack with another black & white image placed above it. I’ll be using the B&W image for making perfect alpha selections.
The solid should give me a fully-solid background, yet transparency is still visible. This can lead to incorrect masking if I’m using the RGB channels for selections.
This has been happening since Adobe messed around with the new alpha selection for EXR layers/files that are brought in.
Please get this fixed asap, we shouldn’t have to roll back to previous versions for stuff like this.
Photoshop 29.9.1 / Windows 11.
