Copy link to clipboard

Suppose I have a layer in Photoshop containing completely transparent, semi-transparent, and fully opaque pixels. Now, suppose my goal is to keep all fully opaque pixels identical, convert all semi-transparent pixels to fully opaque, and keep all completely transparent pixels identical.
One way that I've found I can do this is by duplicating the layer around 20 to 30 times and then merging them all together, but I need a way to automate this process in a Photoshop script for hundreds and hundreds of layers, so making that many copies is extremely inefficient and will waste a lot of time.
Is there a simpler, faster way to achieve this, preferably something I can use easily in a .jsx Photoshop script?

Hi
You could record an action with the following steps
1. Layer > Layer Mask >From Transparency (this creates a mask from the transparency and selects the mask)
2. Image adjustment threshold 1 (this changes the mask to only leave the fully transparent pixels)
3. Apply Layer Mask (this applies the mask to the layer )
Recorded it looks like this :
Then it is just select the layer and run the action - which you could build into a larger action or a batch process
