Wondering why some of my particles from Particular are semi-transparent? I have a tree mask for my layer emitter, and a precomp with my animated leaf, but for some reason some of the leaves are various opacities

Check the extended properties in the designer.

You answered your own question. A layer emitter will sample the source pixel color including transparency. Yopu need to change the settings or use a different approach for creating the leaves.

I have none of those settings applied - hence my issue. 100% opacity and none for referencing layer emitter. Here are screenshots:

Check the Particle Properties. You have options for Opacity, Opacity Over Life, and Opacity Random. 

 

In the future, please post screenshots showing the modified properties of the problem layer. We can be more specific in our replies if we have some idea of how you set up your project.
