I need to take an image and fade the edges of it to white.
I have 2 days to figure this out because I got put in charge of making the program for my wedding. I know computers inside and out but have never used photoshop before.
Each page is just an image file, and the page background is black. So for the image to go into the page seamlessly, the edges have to fade to black. So far I've only been able to do it with specific kinds of pictures that are already black, or have very dark edges, and I just use the burn tool to fade it to pure black so it blends in nicely. If you go to the page, you'll see what I mean. However I'd like to be able to do a similar thing with brighter images, or images where the edges aren't already black/dark. How can I fade bright images to black in a convincing way? When I try using the burn tool, it doesn't bring it all the way to black, and if I use the gradient tool (i.e. from transparent to black or something), it's hard to get it uniform all the way around the image.

So in essence, I want the image to meld into the background which is black. How is this done. I tried so many things and I cant seem to get it right.
Every time I get close, to getting it right, my image fades somewhat using the gradient tool and a new opaque white layer but I get white and silver boxes on the edges of my image?

I need to make an image fade to transparency for a little projet of mine.
I tried to add a mask to my layer with a gradient [blanc to white] in it, in photoshop it gave the result I wanted, but when I save it as a PNG, the transparency is just not working like in photoshop. (Assuming I use it as an image in a website)
I tried to remove the contour thing, and photoshop see's only two colors [000000 and transparency] so when I open it in a browser, there is simply nothing. If I add a white background for exemple, the image will work, but I need the image to be really transparent so it can merge with my web background.
I've made a .psd which fades from white to 100% transparent. I was hoping to export it as a png 24 and put the image over some text in a webpage to make the text look as though it had a fade on it.
The text is automatically updated, thats why i have to do it this way. When I do save for web as png 24 and place it over text in dreamweaver and preview in safari all that happens is the image shows as a black solid image! What can i do?!
i have an image that i want to fade make look alot paler - it must be simple?

fade out part of an image. Say I have a jpeg, and I want to have the last third of the image naturally fade out, how do I do it? I don't want to use the gradient, I want to actually fade out the image.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an image recently turned into a .swf so that it can expand/contract to any browser resolution (http://thevoiceofnow.com). I originally worked in Fireworks, but have access to Photoshop so any help is appreciated.
I'm trying to get the image (.swf) to fade nicely into the background color #960. On some computers it works quite well, on others you can see the line between the two very visibly. Is there anyway to get a better color match between the file and background?
I've been using Photoshop intensely this year for school assignments, and I'm learning to get around very well. The issue I'm currently having is that it want to make a layer mask that fades from the mask to the image behind, from color to transparent to create a smooth transition.
I've attached a sample image of what I'm trying to do. Just note, I used a very round-about method to get this image, but I want to achieve the same effect with a vector mask.
I have a black and white picture with edges, greys, blacks and even the whites that are too precise, aggressive and defined. I want to make a picture taken today look as if it was 50 years old, I want to wear it down and get it to stand out less because I want to put it next to pictures of people in older b&w pictures.
I have an inkling that if only I could wear down the blacks and greys I could get this down.
How do i fade the top corners of this image so that the top corners are transparent.
i added a picture of rihanna wearing a t shirt with the corners faded i would like to know how to do this?
how to fade to transparency by myself I am left with a residue problem when saving to a different file format.
I took my square image and pasted as a layer. Behind this is a raster layer flood filled with black (As the image will be going onto a black t-shirt). I used a rounded rectangle selection tool to make a mask somewhere just inside the image borders. I then applied a Gaussian blur to the mask and it faded the edges of the image beautifully. I checked with the black background layer off and again it faded nicely into transparency.
Now my issue is that when I save it as a PNG file (with background set to transparency of course) and try to use it against various coloured backgrounds there seems to be a white glow around the edges where it is meant to fade out.
how do I stop an image aligning itself to the edges of the image area.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is what I want to do. I have the letters 'XC' which I've played with a bit to look the way I want and due to anti-aliasing has nice edges. Now I want to basically fill those letters with an image. I can't figure out how to do this and keep the nice anti-aliased edges.
Current steps:
1. load image as base layer
2. Create new layer with text in it
3. using magic wand select a threshold that has smoothest edges on text layer
4. select image layer and copy the selection area... notice the hard edges of the finished result in the attached example. I want it nice and smooth and anti-aliased.
How to do this more elegantly? I've attached the basics of what I'm doing and the result.

This is just a quick job i need doing, i dont have photoshop yet.
So... I need the egg from this pocket god icon cut out with smoothened edges. Thats all
I make a hard job of it in gimp/paint
I have an image that has a tiny bit of white around the edges of people's hair so it is very difficult to get rid of without erasing the hair. I've tried the erase, magic wand and laso tool but it doesn't get rid of all the white.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm an beginner/intermediate Photoshop user, using CS5. I'm working on an image of two women, starting from an historical photograph. I selected, copied and pasted the central image of the 2 women onto a new layer which is otherwise transparent. I then created a copy of the original photograph's layer and applied a masking layer with a radial transparency gradient, so that when the original layer is hidden, the background appears to be radially faded behind the central image. So far, so good.
However, I'd like to apply an additional "dose" of transparency around the edges, so the image fades completely at the outermost edges. And I'd like more control over this additional fading than just applying another gradient.
I've seen a video of someone "painting" transparency onto an image, but I can't quite get my brain around it. From what I've read, it looks as though I should create another layer that will be an additional masking layer... but how to do this.
My undying gratitude for any assistance to get me past this roadblock.
I have many (+800) picture to work on for making their egdes more smooth.This is an example of one picture :

I have a shape that I want to use for a number backing on a racecar. The problem is that I want the lines to be 5mm thick right around, or any thickness just as long as it is uniform.
The shape/image in question:
I want to then copy the shape into a new layer, and resize it to fit inside the old shape to look something like this:
So to get back on topic, the real question is how to I make the outer lines the same thickness right around?

I would imagine part of the problem is I have been using the polygonal lasso to help block off the areas i want to layer mask - I have tried the free hand lasso but the results are too wonky.
