Transparency editing

Hi there,
i'm quite experienced with photoshop, but i never found a solution for
this problem, maybe someone can help me:
if you have a layer with transparent pixels (done to eraser-use or
because you used a mask), how can you reduce this transparency again.
is there a way to edit the transparency chanel of a layer? i can't
believe that photoshop hasn't such a function, but i never found
something about. in my imagination there should be a mode where you can
edit the transparency with the normal painting tools, the curves and,
and, and.
thanks for any hints.

try duplicating the layer it will increase the opacity

They may be gone if they are 100% erased, but not if less. Then there
colours stay untouched. You can see that in the colour-info-box, which
you also can switch to measure the opacity/transparency.
In my case i made a colour-range selection and copied it to a new
layer. As this selection has no sharp edges and the pixels are
"selected more or less" - 0-100% ... in the new layer there are regions
with variating transparency. If i could readjust this, things would be
easier. I know I could work with a layermask instead of copying the
selection to a new layer. I'll do it the next time, now I'm nearly
done. Anyway I think it's strange, if there is no possibility to rise
the opacity of a pixel, but only to reduce it.
bye,
johannes.

You can't.
If you've used the eraser, the pixels "behind" the transparency are
GONE. You can't bring them back, and you can't directly edit the
transparency any longer. By using the eraser, you have removed the
pixels from the image.
If you want to be able to do this, never, ever erase or delete anything
from a layer. Use a layer mask instead.
