I have a PNG image that I would like to turn into a layered PSD image. The image itself is mostly white space with several areas of text.

I tried to convert this PNG to a PSD but I ended up with a flat image.

I am not too versed in image processing. Is there any service that can recognize areas of white space and turn the various components of an image into layers?

Yes .PNG can be layered (from Macromedia Fireworks back in the day) I still have about 100,000 layered files in .PNG If I remember right Corel Draw can convert these files.
