I can have have a layer on top that uses the transparency of all layers beneath to control it's own transparency.

Is there a way to do this in Photoshop without using layer or group masks?
Suddenly when I save an object in Illustrator and import it into Indesign, I have a white background. How do I save to preserve the background transparency? This has never been an issue before but suddenly started happening. Is there a setting I changed while making a new doc?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, as it says; I'm unable to preserve the apperance of my image as the Layers get Merged.
I have an Object which I intend to slap onto a background, I want the Object to be Faded from one side to the other with 1/4 Solid to the Left and the remaing 3/4 fading out to about 120-140 Opacity in the furthest Right Part.
I've failed to achive this when I use the Rectangle Selction to; select, copy, delete, make new layer, paste.
Repeating that process across the the 3/4 and then changing the Opacity Value of each layer in order to create a Fade effect.
Now here's the issue, when I try to merge the Layers the individual "Strips" change their Opacity Value as the Merge with the other Layers.
I want to Preserve the Appperance the Image have before the Layers are Merged.
I've tired switching Blend Modes but wihtout Success.
I've also tried to without seperating the Image into "Strips" in Layers, using the Gradient to cause a Fade, however it ends up fading all of the Image to some degree (and not just the 3/4), additionally I can't control the exact Opacity Value of the Fade.
My system: Win XP, PS CS2
I want to know: Can I place a psd-file in another file completely with its still edible layers?
I'm working with Photoshop CS6 Extended and in the last two days have started to have problems with some files.One of the main layers gets a strange pattern over the top of it and at closer inspection relised that the pattern was infact transparent, allowing you to see through to the background layer.

The explanation of the reference book:

"Select Transparency Shapes Layers to restrict layer effects and knockouts to opaque areas of the layer. Deselecting this option, which is always selected by default, applies these effects throughout the layer."
 What is the meaning of applying effects throughout the layer?

When I deselect this option, I can never see any effect applied ...
I was just wondering what the practical difference was between the Opacity of a layer and the transparency of a layer. They seem to have the same effect, but I reckon that Adobe wouldn't have seperated them for no good reason.

how to get rid of the transparency in a layer?
I don't mean flattening it, that just puts it on a white background, I want to preserve all of the colour information, but just get rid of the transparency.
I am trying to paste a layer of a bridge over a river, however, the bridge is almost transparent. I need the top layer to be solid over the background. How can i do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Adobe Photoshop CS2. I formerly had been using CorelPHOTO-PAINT, but have since then moved on to better things.
In CorelPHOTO-PAINT, there is a tool called the "Interactive Object Transparency Tool." This tool was simple: you'd select an object (layer) and click a start point, you then would move your cursor in the desired direction, clicking once again to complete the function. The further away the second (or end) point was, the more gradual the transformation to transparency.
I know CS2 has a Gradient Tool, but that involves colors, and I want to gradually and directionally decrease the opacity on a layer without involving color.
What I want to do is create a sort of “transparency layer mask”, meaning that this layer will go on top of all my existing layers and will make an area transparent according to the mask. Kind of drilling a hole to transparency through all the layers underneath. I see that you can do similar things with adjustment layers but I couldn’t make one for transparency. Even better would be to be able to specify which underneath layers this layer will affect.

Whenever Flickr converts a PNG-24 file to a JPG, the transparent background of the multilevel PNG gets converted to black. I do not want this. I want PNG-24 file to retain its transparency and have a background color set for handling JPG conversion.
I heard this can be done by creating a 100 percent transparent white layer, setting it as the background layer, and flattening the image.
How do I do this with Photoshop CS3?
I have a Hue/Saturation layer with a vector mask applied, and I'd like it to fade from 100% transparency to 0% transparency. How would I do this? I can't seem to work it out.

I loaded one PNG pic.
I added an alpha channel to make it a transparency.
I used the select by color tool.
I clicked white & removed.
I saved. I switched to eraser - but it is acting like I'm trying to erase something off the transparency layer and won't erase anything.
I have the correct layer selected in the layers window.
I find myself creating new layers and making them slightly transparent all the time. But when I do this using Gimp it does not work right? This is what I am doing:
Add new layer
use transparency/opaque slider to change the setting
what happens is that the new layer stays solid until it goes below 50% on the slider and then it disappears, above 50% and it is back. It is like the 50% mark is an on/off switch for the layer.
I'd like to achieve an effect similar to the one shown here:

What I need to do...
1.) Take screenshots of various pages of code (did this)
2.) Use masks (or maybe not) to apply some sort of texture behind each screenshot
3.) Use a perspective effect to rotate each page of code to varying extents
4.) Use masks and transparency (or maybe not?) to paste the pages on top of each other in layers
I should be looking up and combining to get there, and with other specifics.
Regarding (1), do I want to capture screenshots of black text on a white background? Or, the reverse? Regarding (2) and (4), are these right?
The attached image has transparencythat I don't want.
What I would like to do is eliminate all transparency from the image so that I can then use the eraser tool to make transparent the areas that I want transparent.
I can't figure out how to remove all transparency from the image / layer. I'm new to paint.net, it may be obvious to others how to do this but not to me
The layer properties (where I thought I'd fix this) show opacity 255 now but the image still has unwanted transparency.

Is there a way to control the layer transparency in CorelDraw 5? We often have control objects we need to superimpose over the actual drawing object, but want to see through the control object (on a higher layer) so we can align the actual drawing beneath the control layer.
