: Photoshop: final blend for semi-transparent pixels I have an image, which have some amount of semi-transparent pixels. I would like to blend them with white: Source Wanted How do I do it?

There’s a few ways to solve this, but no matter which approach you take, you’re going to have to re-work or trace the edge.

Option 1: Paint underneath

One simple, but slow way to do this, is to paint underneath with white. You can do this with a shape layer, or a bitmap layer. If the stroke is opaque and wide enough, this will likely be the easiest way to go.

Option 2: Duplicate the layer

Another option is to open the image, and make lots of copies of the layer.


Duplicate the layer the image is on, using ⌘J.
Do this a few times… ⌘J, ⌘J, ⌘J, ⌘J, ⌘J.
Select all the layers and merge them.
Duplicate the newly merged layer a few times.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the transparency is gone.


This will give you the the result you’re after with one major flaw: The partially transparent edges will now be aliased (jagged). You’ll have to use a different technique for fixing the edges.

It's a bit hard to give you a straight answer on that.
But through the images you've posted you already answered it.
I would:
1 create a new layer bellow the art one
2 create a lasso selection along the black line of colored area
3 fill with white.
Then I would CTRL+E or Cmd+E both layers.

I don't think you need to technically blend them with white; you want to change the opacity to 100% , which is what your second image looks like. Put the art (lavender and black) on a separate layer from your background (if yo want to maintain a transparent backround) and change the transparency slider to 100%
