Let me start off by telling you the overall purpose then the problem.   I used this site for tutorials in the past and the Glass Pillbutton tutorial comes to mind.     In that tutorial layer blending was set to MUTIPLY and OVERLAY.   So it blends in with the background.   Lets say we have an animated background and we want to take that glass with blending options on and put it over the animated background.

So we have "glass" with a transparent background and we export it as a TGA or PNG (tga w/32 bit is best) but it turns into almost greyscale and doesn't keep any of the layer blending options.    So is layer blending NOT supported with transparent backgrounds when you export?  if it is NOT then any suggestions on how to fake the layer blending? 

Without layer blending the glass doesn't look like glass.   It looks like a white blotch over an image and loses all clarity

thanks in advance
