Thanks for this tutorial, but i cant make it work with selected areas. I select are witch i want but after i press F12 it select all alpha image and it dont want to work with selected areas.

bislajavas, this action will work with full frames only. If you need to remove alpha only for selected areas, you should select and detach those areas after running the action.

chenghao_hk, actually there's no magic in it. The action simply removes pre-multipled alpha and unmultiples black from the image which makes it decent for further compositing.

hi tom,
this is indeed a very useful script! thanks!
Q: is there a way in photoshop to use it for animationsequences?
or have i to do this manually for every frame of a animationsequence?
