dk does alpha channels as does 3darcade.  Hope that helps.

Nice lay out.

I'm using AtomicFE 17.2.

I just can not seem to get it to look like the example I posted.  The best that I could get still makes the layer come out sort of opaque and not shiny like it does when I use photoshop.  I will post an example below and show you how it looks in AtomicFE and you can compare it to the example in my first post. I think the level is set to 100 in the example below.

Like I said, maybe I'm just expecting too much and it will not come out looking like shiny glass.

How did you save it as an alpha channel in Photoshop and could you also let me know how you set it up in AtomicFE, Under Layout properties what is your transparent color, did you use a Custom or Dynamic Custom object?, and under effects what level did you set the alpha as?  Do you have a sample picture of your test?

Thanks for your help.

Hold up... if you have to set a transparent color in atomic that is color KEYING not a true alpha channel.  For what he is wanting to do he'll need something that supports alpha blending.

Another way to approach this problem is to convert all your snaps over. I have written up a simple batch file that uses ImageMagick to convert all the snaps in the snap folder.

After you install ImageMagick put your snaps in the snap folder and run the runme.bat file.

It might work out for you, not sure

Well my down and dirty looks about like yours.  Only did the right side first overlaying your solid green image then the glass layer.  I did not put any text behind it.  Also disregard the top portion, was playing around with overlaying the image below over the red clouds at the top.  Looks pretty cool scrolling slowly across. 

In atomic used a custom object.  Alpha set to 94.  The transparency color I left black, because I just cut out your sample 3 layers and the background is black.  It's what ever color you don't want shown through. 

I'll have to play around with it some more to see if the effect can be improved.  I'm in no way an expert but learn something every time I play around with it.  I'm sure when youki gets back from vacation this week he can help out more than I.  Also I have been using a beta of 018 and there are a lot of new features in the layout editor.
