Hello,

I've been working on a sign pack and encountered an issue where my signs with transparent background have a weird white glow on some edges.
The annoying thing about it that you can see it especially strong when in motion and from further away:


undefined
Far distance: "backlight bleed" is stronger / more apparent


Close distance: "backlight bleed" is weaker / narrows down to small parts of the image


Close-Up: there appears to be an issue with semi-transparent pixels turning white in some cases


Close-Up: there appears to be an issue with semi-transparent pixels turning white in some cases

I've tried working around this issue by filling the background of the image with pixels of the same color and 99% transparency.
But of course that means any background will be overlaid with the magenta color and I'd like to avoid that.
I've tried giving my source photoshop file to a friend with a vastly different PC and he can reproduce it.
Neither changing the color nor image size had an effect on this, also I also tried exporting as DDS instead of PNG and still ran into the same issue.

This is the image in question:


Here's a download to the Photoshop file I use to compose the image and export as PNG:

I'm beyond puzzled at this point. Are there any ideas how to fix this? It's most likely that my source file is not optimal but I didn't find any resources to troubleshoot it.
