What you expected to happen

InvokeAI should process raster layers with transparency without crashing or generating errors.

How to reproduce the problem

Open InvokeAI.
Create a raster layer that contains transparency.
Add this raster layer to the canvas.
Attempt to generate an image.
Observe the error message in the console.
