Quite easy to replicate.

 

I take an image, alter the image to create a PNG cutout, example... a person, full body, standing.

 

I remove the background, and save as a PNG.

 

I then take the image and import into REVIT to create a billboard person, and once in the software and use as a decal, it displays partially what I removed from background, like it was never removed. Or not properly scrubbed.

If you open your png in Photoshop and go to Layer>Layer Mask>From Transparency, that should reveal any hidden data.

 

You want to make a selection of the transparency and use Edit>Clear or Edit>Cut to remove any hidden data.

 

Before saving to a png, load a selection of the object by Ctrl clicking on the layer thumbnail in the layers panel, invert the selection, then go to Edit>Clear or Edit>Cut.
