  Change a screen mode to look the same in normal.

  Hey cow gurus,

  I’m working on a graphic overlay where I have this grid over a background. and when I change it to screen mode it gives me the appearance I want it to have but when I remove the blue background that I’m using as a template. it changed comes back. to it’s normal state ( because there’s nothing to screen blend to)

  so what I’m trying to do is…. The way the grid looks when it’s in screen mode.. I want it to look that way in a normal mode. a normal layer with only the lines and transparency.. the black would be completely gone
  I tired wanding the dark parts away but then it destroys the grid.
  I plan to save it as a Targa with transparency(along with other elements) to key over the talent

  any thoughts or suggestions.
  Thanks.
  Jeff

  You need to make an alpha channel or a layer mask
