# TJ
I have a gif with a white background, and another gif with a white background. I got rid of the white background on one, and superimposed it on the other with 'blending options' in photoshop.

How do I 'raster' that layer, so I can make it blurred and nice and soft-edged again?

/edit - the file is here

commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Map_of_the_Manchester_Bolton_and_Bury_Canal_with_east_lancs_line.gif

and its the red dotted line I want to make pretty

# I had a problem with that, i was stumped
when you merge layers it goes back to normal, a high annoyance.

Have you tried changing the .gif to RGB?

# blending options>blend if
remove the white background, it makes the red line have sharp edges instead of aliased edges. I don't know how to make it so it isn't 'blended' any more, if I figure that out then I can just blur it slightly and the edges become nice again.

# I think you're complicating matters.
save each file as a gif with white as transparent .
open them up change them both to RGB then copy one image on to the other as a layer.
edit: then delete everything that isn't red, if that's what you're want to be left with.
edit:edit: or you could use colour range, selecting just the red??

# if you've saved them
with white being transparent you shouldn't have any white.
in save for web, you need to select white in the colour table and the little checkerboard square beneath, you could do the same for the other colours that you do not want.

# are you still trying to blend if? if you are, don't, I don't think you need to.
is the end result going to be a gif?
am I really crap at explaining stuff?
should I apply for a job in teaching?

I like you drawings by the way.

# It already is
that isn't the problem. I removed a white background using hte 'blend if' option, now i want to 'render' that layer as it appears, so I can mess around with it.
