When I paint on a models base layer with a texture image with alpha it blends nicely but when I try it on a layer it makes the alpha white and not transparent anymore. Am I doing it wrong or is it a bug. I will make a video to show what I mean.

Here‘s the link to the video: [https://youtu.be/W6poPSNSJJY?si=WeOach0aO3Q-OG6x](https://youtu.be/W6poPSNSJJY?si=WeOach0aO3Q-OG6x)

Can you try in [nomad - WebAssembly](https://nomadsculpt.com/demo) to see if you replicate the bug?

Same thing. Used the alpha nomad logo. As soon as it is on a Layer the alpha Channel is ignored.
