Fixing PSD Options in Unity

The video addresses a frustrating change in Unity where the 'Remove Matte' option for PSD files has been deprecated. The presenter, Code Monkey, explains the issue of sprites having a white glow due to the missing alpha channel. Three solutions are provided: manually editing the meta file, creating an alpha channel in Photoshop, and using PNG format. Each method has its pros and cons, with the presenter expressing hope that Unity will not completely remove the feature, as it disrupts workflow. The video aims to help viewers understand and resolve the issue.
