Yeah, I know how to already, but I'm looking for something that may not exist.

When the iPhone X came out, there were scores of transparent PSD files you could (and still can) find online that had the notch so you could see how your Lock Screen wallpaper would turn out with the notch.

While I can get one of those and resize it for the 13 Pro and Pro Max screen dimensions, I'm also looking for a transparent overlay of the date/time and lock icon so I can adjust the wallpaper accordingly during creation.

Does something like this exist, or am I just out of luck?

Thank you all.

It probably exists - but make it easy on yourself.

Why not just make a sold color background, say blue or red. Make it dark enough so that the white of the clock and date do not get lost. Black might actually be best. Take a screen shot of your lockscreen then transfer the image to the device you're using to create your wallpaper. Delete out the solid color (leaving the clock and date). You've then got a transparent background with the clock and date that you can merge up with your notch image.

If you're using Photoshop, getting rid of the single color background is easy - wand tool.
