I have some images with transparency or fill reduced below 100%, I would like to find out what the transparency or fill was reduce to so i can duplicate the image properties in another image, is there a way i can find the transparency and/or fill of an image in photoshop, or totally undo the transparency/fill? The images are in png format and arrived to me with the fill/transparency redution so i can't use undo.

Thanks

I don't think you're going to have any luck with this one. Normally, a png file does not have layers. (I think that it may be possible to export a png file with layers, using Adobe Fireworks, but I'm not sure.)

Without layers, you won't be able to easily reduce or add transparency of a fill, etc., without affecting what's 'behind' it. I would think that you could just 'eyeball' the image and match it close enough.

Sorry for the double post. I tried to edit the first one and ended up with two! Don't know how to delete the first.

Yeh, I had a go at overlaying the image onto itself 5 times to see if it would undo the transparency (i know the colour is black) so overlaying it onto itself 5 times y using apply image brought it back to being black, but all the edges were fuzzy and the picture was unclear. From what I can tell it's had fill reduced and transparency, and I have tried playing with combinations of both but just can't seem to match it through working by eye.
