I have Photoshop CS and I want to know how to make an image selection fade to transparency.
Example, I select part of a photo, say a persons face, with the lasso select tool.
I want to make the boundries of the lasso selected area fade to transparent in a gradient style.
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.

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have heard that older versions of photoshop had a tool called "selection brush" wich i think would be much easier than the lasso or magic wand. is there any way that i can make a precise selection on an image (not being with the lasso or magic wand tools)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way I can directly make a grayscale image into an alpha transparency channel?
I mean, NOT involving selection? Because selection by color to layer mask,is really difficult what I need to do the selection threshold.
Why is it easy to turn an alpha channel into a grayscale image but not the reverse?
I am using PS CS6 13.0.1..When I use the selection tool, any selection tool, the image disappear.I tried to disable GPU but that did not work, nor did starting in safe mode without any plug-in.I find myself turning Photoshop On & Off several times until it is resolved. Sometime it may take even 15 times to turn on/off until resolved.

You could have the capabilities to adjust the amount of the fade on a tool bar. maybe this is out there, but it would save a lot of time when doing graphics for t shirts and you want to fade the edges of the image on the shirt. you rip program would define the half tones by the transparency fade.
When I have a backgound selected with the Magic Wand Tool or the Quick Selection Tool and I try to delete it, instead of getting the white and gray checkered background, it brings up a "Fill" splash screen, why? I'm just trying to make an image transparent so it can be moved from one image to another.

Simple case: I have a red circle
I want to select a band say 6 pixels thick all the way around the circle
Now i need to fade from the inner edge of the selection to the outer edge so that completely transparent
I am left with a red circle that fades out perfectly and will sit over any background.
Firstly how do i make such a selection? effectively what i want to do is select my shape and then make a buffer of it?
Secondly how do i do the fade part?
If see the symbols that get installed by google earth (or any other nice non square/circle symbols) you will know what im trying to achieve.
I can do these kind of fades quite easily for whole images or with gradients for regular shapes but for something like the shape of a person or car it gets more difficult!
How I can make these trails fade faster?

I have tried using transparency - add alpha channel, and nothing happens: the menu stays there. Is that a glitch in y version of Gimp? and how can I now isolate the background and turn int transparent?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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!
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 .

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.

I have removed the background from a photo using selection deleting to transparency via alpha channel. My dog was left. I then exported to png. When I try to upload the dog to use in a label, (Open Office), the back ground turns to white.
What am I doing wrong?
