I have a PNG file with some transparency. I need to paint in some opacity in the alpha channel. How can I achieve this? In the Channels window, I can access the R, G and B channels just fine, but I need to access the Alpha channel. I need to make my image more opaque in places.
View 11 Replieshow to increase the opacity of a pixel (without altering it's RGB values)?
It's just soooo BASIC that I fear I'm overlooking something incredibly obvious.
To make it really clear: I have a pixel with, let's say with RGB=(48,33,57) and 25% opacity. How can I make a (48,33,57) pixel with 75% opacity out of that?
I find, right after the brush tool, that's the most obvious tool for Photoshop. I wonder, why this is missing ? Most tools have their counterparts, like dodge/burn or sharpen/blur. So why does the eraser (decrease opacity) don't have a counterpart (increase opacity)?
Using the eraser tool or several other methods I can set pixels in a layer to be semi-transparent. Let's say I save such a layer without history. How do I make these pixels 100% opaque again? Is there some tool that does the opposite of the eraser?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIt 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 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.,

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen 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?

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?

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 11 Replies View RelatedI've been wondering... Since resolution is such an important factor to whether a pic is sharp and clear, how is photoshop able to increase the resolution of the pic? From what I heard, the picture is broken down into more pixels when the resolution is increased. If so, how can it distort the pic?
I also have this senario which I'm facing now... Since it's rather confusing, I have broken it down into Steps...
Steps:
1) Open picture A in photoshop
2) Transformed picture A smaller so that it is easier to work with (less lag)
3) I created some layers and merged all the layers together
4) Copy the merged layer into another Art piece in Photoshop
5) In the new Art piece, I transformed the merged layer back to the original size
As I transformed the merged layer back to the original size, will it become distorted? Or will the resolution remain around the same?
you probably heard this many times but i got a picture and would like to resize an object in the image. for example a car and i would like to make the rims bigger, how would i do that.

View 1 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.
