Photoshop :: How Does PS Acheive Opacity?

May 6, 2008

I am part of a research lab that is putting together experiments relating to visual cognition, and I was wondering how exactly Photoshop CS3 achieves opacity. Is it through pixel amount or another method?

Photoshop :: Pen Pressure Opacity (glitches) And Do Full Opacity Often When Try To Digital Paint

Aug 26, 2013

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.

After Effects :: Getting An Object To Instantly Go From 100% Opacity To 0% Opacity

Feb 10, 2014

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.

Photoshop :: Opacity And Transparency?

Apr 1, 2013

When you merge two identical layers (with solid black-filled shapes) and with, say, 30% opacity both, the resulting layer will be a layer with 100% opacity but with 30% transparent black-filled shapes. How will you make this 100% opaque?

Aug 13, 2012

When I make a layer mask and use my brush tool at 100% opacity you can still see some of the image below. It is as though 100% is only 98% or so.

When I merge down the layers the slight opacity shows on the flattened image. actually get 100% opacity?

Photoshop :: Brush Opacity

Aug 2, 2008

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?

Photoshop :: Lowering Opacity

Dec 20, 2006

I 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.

Photoshop :: Opacity Percentage

Jan 18, 2007

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?

Photoshop :: How To Add A 100% Stroke To 50% Opacity Box

Oct 27, 2008

I 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.

Photoshop :: Restoring Opacity

Dec 28, 2007

If there's an object with a semi-transparent part (without editable layer mask of course), is there any way to make it opaque again without ruining its original pixels?

(For those who know Corel PhotoPaint: I'm looking for the equivalent of "paint on transparency" mode)

Photoshop :: Opacity Won't Stay At 100%

Nov 18, 2005

Is 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%.

Photoshop :: Overlapping Brushstroke Opacity

Mar 9, 2013

I'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.

Photoshop :: Can Lock Brush Opacity In CS6

May 7, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: Increment Opacity In Action

Mar 11, 2012

I'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?

Photoshop :: CS6 Clone Tool Opacity

May 22, 2012

I 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.

Photoshop :: Brush Opacity And Spacing

Feb 13, 2013

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.
 
my graphic card is a GeForceGT 540M

Photoshop :: Opacity Not Saving All Of A Sudden (CS5)?

Nov 21, 2011

I have been using photoshop for a long time now. Yesterday I tried to create a .png that originally contained two layers. Layer 1 was a fill with it's opacity set to 75% and Layer 2 was a centered image.

In the past I have been able to save this as a .png and retain the opacity of Layer 1. For some reason now when I save this the opacity is not being saved. I tried going into "Save for Web" and using the png-24, I even looked at the preview of the saved image which clearly showed a semi-transparent Layer 1. But the final saved .png always has an opaque fill. WTH? This has never been an issue before.
