I have checked with imageRepsWithContentsOfFile which returns an array with one object only. So, there is one only representation. These are some values I get from the representation
representations count 1 colorSpaceA sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colorspace isPlanar 0 numberOfPlanes 1 NSAlphaNonpremultipliedBitmapFormat 0 hasAlpha 0 bitsPPixel 24 bytesPerPixel 3 The pixel I have set on Photoshop as RGBA 0.00, 1.00, 0.00, 0.20 becomes in my App as 0.80, 1.00, 0.80, 1.00 which clearly means it has been pre-multiplied by a white opaque color 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 final = (src * 0.2) + (dst * (1.0 - 0.2)) I would like to know where the alpha info has gone within the file, so I could divide the RGB values by the alpha value. Any idea?
