I am interested to know how to create a layer where the opacity is gradually lowered from one side of the pic to the other. What I want is basically the effect you get with the gradient tool but with opacity and not colors.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone had any idea about this problem that I've been having. For some reason when I create a gradient that goes to zero opacity on either end it gets all scattered.
It was working fine and now I've reinstalled it in Windows Vista 64bit. I remember I had this problem the first time I installed it as well but then I turned the update on and it just went away before I really cared too much. Now I've got the update on and went and downloaded the 10.1 from the website and it's starting to bother me .....
It does it every 4-6 times which is really really often since you brush about 10 times every 3 seconds or so when digital painting especially when shading, lighting, blending, etc with brushing.
Why does it do this? I cant recall when it started doing this but I think it was either when I updated from CS4 to CS6 or maybe it just randomly kicked in. I already updated my drivers and re-installed my tablet.
In the animation I am working on, I need an object to instantly go from 100% opacity to 0% opacity. The problem is, even if you use the opacity of the layer as a keyframe, the object will not instanlty vanish, even if it is only on for the timeruler for a quick amount of time.
I need a tool that will drop from 100% opacity to 0% instantly.
Is it possible to create a gradient similar to radial gradient, except that the shape is other than circular? This image would be the starting point, but I would like the white part fading to black to be another shape (say, a rectangle, a banana, etc.).

I save all gradients at:
C:UsersRHAppDataRoamingAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6PresetsGradients
However it does (mostly) work when I import pre-made (from web) Gradients.
I don't know why this happens but it also did the same thing when I had CS5.5!
is there any way to save a 70% opacity picture as a jpg or gif? Everytime i make it and save it, the color turns solid.,

Does anyone know how to photo shop calculates the resulting color when using brush opacity?
For example If I paint over a section with 100% brush opacity, then go over it again with another color with 100% brush opacity then the new color replaces the old. But what happens if when I go over the first color with a new color set at 50% opacity? How does Photoshop calculate the resulting color?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI realize there may be several right answers to this, but what is a fast and fairly easy method in lowering the opacity to the entire image?
The image that will be lightened, or it's opacity lowered, will be the background used in a montage.
This is something that i never really gave much thought - but what value do the opacity parentages really have?
See my assumption was that 50% + 50% = 100%. So if you had a solid black layer set to 50% opacity and you duplicated that layer one would think that it would be solid black again... but no is only 75% black. WHAT?
The other thing is that solid black with and opacity level of 50% over solid white is a true 50% gray which is half black and half white - do to half's not make a whole?
how do you change the opacity of a shape? also how would I put a border on that shape?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 20 boxes that have to be linked like a flow chart over a black and white photo. Each box needs an opacity of about 50% white to insert text. Each box needs a 100% black stroke around it. But when I apply the stroke to the box and then lower the box opacity to 50%, the black stroke fades out as well. I can't find a way to allow the 100% stroke to remain 100% black around the 50% opacity box.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there any reason the opacity won't stay completely opaque for the pencil and paint tools (and possibly other tools)? I have opacity set to 100% in the options bar at the top as well as the fill and opacity settings on the layers pallette. I can't see anywhere where opacity is being set to less than 100%.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intuos 3 and have not had any problems with my brushes before.
Today, however, I started to paint, and noticed that my brushes were acting up. I paint a brushstroke and everything is fine - but when I paint another one over it, it makes the first stroke appear darker, whereas I would want the second stroke to cover the first one.
My brush mode is set to Normal and the opacity is 100%.
I've opened previous files as well to see if it is just about the current file's settings somehow, but the problem still persists. And I don't recall having done anything to change the brushes' behavior before.
In CS6 when I increase/decrease size of my brush using alt+right-click on pen tablet, sometimes I also unintentionally change brush opacity by couple percentage (obviously my hand won't move perfectly horizontally every time I want to do it). It kills flow during work of course and I have to stick to CS5 for now unfortunately.I have only found option for turning off hardness change in preferences.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to record an action that does the following:
1. Duplicate layer
2. Rotate the duplicate 15%
3. Drop the opacity of the duplicate 15%
The problem is the last step: How can I record a drop of 15% in opacity in an action? If I set the opacity to 85% then Photoshop will set the opacity of every duplicate as 85% and not minus it from the current opacity value of the layer.
So how can I create an action that will minus 15% from the current opacity of the layer?
When I use Liquify (in Ps CS6), the image becomes much lighter. I'm new to CS6 and don't know if it's supposed to do this or not. Here's an example:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am familiar with the operation of the clone tool in previous versions of Photoshop.... However after upgrading to CS6 I am having a problem with the functionality of the clone tool.
Basically when using the clone tool when its set to 100% opacity & flow, it looks as though the clone tool is only set to 50% opacity.I am using the default configuration that came with the program.
My previous version was CS3... clone tool worked perfectly there...why the same tool doesnt perform the same way with the same apparent settings.
I've run into two problems using the brush tool:
1. When I use a low opacity to gradually build up highlights in a drawing the opacity seems to skip a few strokes: Nothing is actually happening after a fes brush strokes and then suddenly there's a bright line, nothing inbetween. It looks like i was drawing with 50% opacity even though it was actually 5%. All other option such as pressure sensitivity are turend off.
2. When drawing a straight line with the brushtool, and then zooming in, I can see the individual spots that make up the brushstroke. It looks like brushspacing was on even though it wasn't.
I use cs6 on a windows 7 platform and have a wacom intuos 4.
