I am trying to create a .png texture. In PS, the texture has two layers. One with Linear Burn and another with Soft Light. I want to merge them and save as .png to apply on different images later without using any blending mode.

But whatever I try, the final saved .png file has no transparency and looks different from the original PS file in general.

Is there any solution to create a mask in .png like this?

A PNG file is a lossless format, but still a bit map (guess what: a map of bits), so, it is not able to carry complex informations such as the blending mode once defined.

A way to solve is to save the two layers into different textures and apply the right blending mode to each one every time you use them.

Saving an "Action" to apply the blending modes to the right layers could be an option, but it will take a lot more thinking and timing than manually setting.

I would join you in the team of those that would find it useful, but, unfortunately, it is impossible since it is not Photoshop`s "fault", it is PNG's and other image formats.
