I have an ad layout I am working on for a horse owner. I have removed the horse from the background and would like to have it so that his image fades from top to bottom. I know I saw something on how to do a fadeout on an image, but I cannot find it. Any suggestions would be treated with GREAT appreciation!! Also, can this be done as a diagonal fade also???
I am using CS5 Photoshop on a Mac OS X version 10.7.5 computer. I have recently re-opened a couple documents that I created a couple months ago, and found one layer on each doc was practically invisible. Odd that it is the same black and white key line drawing layer that is affected on each file; all other layers remain in tact.
I checked the opacity, layer eyeball, and all the settings and nothing makes a difference. In addition, I have turned off all other layers to make sure nothing is blocking it from view and it remains faded. I have duplicated the layer several times to make the image appear stronger; however, It barely makes a dent. It's as if the layer has slowly begun to evaporate!
I'm desiging a banner for a website and a big concern of mine is that the sidebar should fade into the black default background of the website.
It's a single layer, the image is 32 x 346 pixels and I'd like to know how to blend the bottom quarter or so of the multicolor sidebar to the default black.
On screen this show when doing a simple layer mask fade with the gradient tool. (notice the hard transition in the black) The if I flatten it it looks fine, like this.
I don't understand why all of a sudden it is doing this, same with brushes. Just seems to happen in the layer mask which is really deceiving.
Basicly when i try to erase a layer/rectangle tool to make a nice fade this is what happens: every time i try to erase it makes a huge black lining around the erased part as u can see .
what can i do with that image so it fades into the red background without looking stupid? and what would you recommend i do to make it look better overall?
I have seen it on many sites where i image starts off full colour and gradualy fades into nothing i like the effect and i no how to fade a image using the opacity and fill.
I've got the hang of doing animations in photoshop (keeping several images visible for a few seconds each) ... but I don't know how to fade from one image into the next. I've tried overlapping the timeline segments, but that doesn't work.
I'm trying to create a header for a website, 500x100, that has a photo image, 300x100, in the center that has both right and left edges feathered. On the left edge it would fade to white, on the right edge it would fade to blue. Seems like I've seen similar things on other sites.
First I thought I'd just place a blue rectangle on the right half of the piece and place the image over it in the center with both edges feathered. But if I feather one edge (with the gradient tool), trying to feather the other edge undoes the first edge's feathering. I still don't really get working with layers.
Then I thought I'd just feather the left edge of the image and place a blue rectangle with a feathered left edge over the right edge of the image. But when I draw a rectangle, the gradient tool doesn't work and I can't feather the edge. If I select the tool and click in the rectangle I get a message that the content of the layer isn't directly editable and I can't figure out how to make it editable.
At this point, I'm not even sure what method I should be using to accomplish this task. Should I be feathering one edge and blurring the other? I think I did get it done once before by starting with an image that had lots of extra height, feathering all 4 edges and cropping off the top and bottom feathered parts but this image doesn't have that much extra to work with.
I'm sure these are stupid questions but the tutorials, tips and how-to's I've looked at always seem talk about how to feather one or all edges, not two. It doesn't help that I'm still not really familiar with all the tools and terminology.
I would certainly appreciate at least a pointer to what methods I should be using. I feel like I'm trying to use a chisel as a screwdriver.
Today for the first time I have encountered something strange when pulling a PSD file through from CS2 into imageready. The colours in the image seem 'washed out' and faded as per the file attached. I have also attached a file how it should look. I have obviously done something inadvertently to make it go wrong but I can't for the life of me work out what .
Notice on the left side, the edge is faded to give a 3-D look and on the right side of the artwork itself (ignore the red HD DVD case), it is rounded.
For example I already have the following, and I want to make it look similar to above. I just don't know how to round the corners on one side and give the left edge that faded look.
I am having a little trouble trying to add multiple fade to transparent gradients appear in a single image. Here are the steps I have done so far:
Create a new vector with the photo unlocked
Add a layer mask
use the black to white gradient, so the edge of the photo is completely translarent and as you move to the center, it slowly reveals the photo.
I used this technique I found online for one edge of the photo and it worked great, untill I tried the second gradient on the same photo, and the first one I did disappeared. I guess Photoshop only lets you have one.
The next thing I tried is to create another vector mask and create another gradient, but it did not work at all. Also, Photoshop only lets you have two vector masks per layer, so That wont do me much good if I need 4 gradients, each one fading to transparent around the 4 edges of the photo.
Any solution would be greatly appreciated. I plan to take the photo that has the fade to transparent gradients and copy it to another background image with some text.
I am using Elements 6.0. I want to fade my image to white on the right side of the image. That way I can add text there in the plain white space. I've seen several ways to do this, but none seem to work on 6.0. using 6.0 . I tried a few ways explained on higher versions but I can get it to work.
I want to know how to fade something out. Like how the gradient tool works, but instead of a color, I just want it to be from background to transparent.
Lets say I have a line as my image, and that's all that's there. The background is transparent (no white background, in the program it's displayed as a white/gray grid of small blocks) ___________________
Theres my line. It's nice but I want the ends to smoothly fade out into the transparency. Like this
....,,,,________________,,,,....
I know that's a bad example, but where the line is full and thick is where it is just that. Full, thick, it's the line! But then the comma's, say thats where it starts to fade, by the end of the comma's, the line is 50% transparent. By time it hits the periods its faded by a lot, and goes from 50% transparent, to completely transparent.
I hope you understand what I'm talking about. And for actual use, I wont be fading a straight line. More a a curved design that I've cropped and want to have fade out on the ends.
I work with X3 at home and I wonder how I can do this. I have a image and What I try to achieve is that it fades out to white from the left to the rigth side. So on the left side the image is fully seen and on the right seen it turns into white.
I figured out how to use the layers option to fade an image into white for a Blackberry theme I'm making. After getting the hang of that, I figured I could try the same thing with a different image. But instead of opening up both images in different colors, both show up as the color of the first image. Both images are png files, the same file format that I used the first set of images for. I have not changed the size nor made anything transparent.

I am trying to make my image fade to black on one side. I have read the blend tool tutorial in the user manual but all I can get to hap pen is a black and white gradient completely covering my image. I have tried adding a transparent layer over the image and applying the gradient to it but for some reason when one side of the image (using the linear mode) starts to get darker, the other side gets lighter, creating a severely distorted contrast with the image, plus the fade covers an entire half of the image.
I`m trying to swich a image on a layer whit a layer mask. I whant to keep the layer mask but change the image. When I paste a copyed image it the laye it creates a hole new layer. How can I change a image but keep the layer mask?
