I tried everything but I can't get transparency in gradient maps. I'm using CS6 and I couldn't remember such behavior in CS5, If you click on the picture you'll see a larger view.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to know how to put transparency maps on the same object as a texture map. the biggest problem I am running into is the file format, I have been looking on line through forums and tutorials but I get conflicting results. I got one to work at one point but then it reverted to showing the alpha bmp instead of the texture. gah getting frustrated. also when I was making the alpha channel some how it gave the black/white boarder area fuzzy division. maybe I didnt make it right some how.
what file formats to use and the proper way to make an alpha map for transparency?
I want to make a gradient go from light blue to dark blue so I adjust the lower first stop to light blue and the second lower stop to dark blue.
1. I do not want any transparency within the gradient, so do I just leave the stops on top in their default locations on the ends?
2. Any example of how transparency in a gradient can be used?
I want to create a gradient with transparency. Say one side was Green 100% Opacity, and i want the other side red with 0%. It does not work, it just turns into red with no transparency. Something about masks but i dont know what to do.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using PS CS2 and whenever I try to use a gradient with a an opacity level of 0, the gradient refuses to set to the image. Any other type of gradient works perfectly fine, just when using a gradient with transparency does the problem arise.
View 5 Replies View RelatedCorel has a Transparency Fountain Fill function that lets you make an object gradually transparent from one end to the other. In other words you can see the object one one side, but then the background gradually seeps through until all you can see is background at the other side.

I have a layer that is a vector mask over a solid color. The fill of the layer is black, so when i set it to screen it's transparent. I then have a gradient overlay effect applied to the layer that fades from a solid color to a transparency. There is no blending mode applied to the gradient overlay, so it shows up as normal. It looks exactly how i want it to look!
The problem is when i try to flatten this layer, or export this layer as a PNG. The black from the fill shows up where it's supposed to be transparent, even though it's not otherwise visible. If i try to delete the fill all together, and use use a transparent block to overlay my gradient, it won't work, as there is nothing for the gradient to overlay on. If i try to make the gradient using the gradient tool and then using the vector shape layer, it is imprecise, and i know of no way to control how the gradient is applied, other than guessing with the mouse.
I have a bunch of these shapes that need to stack and use the exact same gradient alignment, and i need to be able to export them as png's. If i make them in illustrator and port them over to photoshop, there is still an issue with pixels smearing along the edges of my shapes.
Here's an example, the appropriate fading is on the top, but when i flatten or export i get the bottom:
I am using the new Creative Cloud attempt from Adobe. In 6 months, the only consistent documented behavior from photoshop around transparency gradient adjustment layers is to deselect all layers and then select just one layer to use for the failed Photoshop transparency effect.
I have not found any tutorials that I can duplicate on my machine. Either the tools will not appear 99% of time, or when they do 1% of time they do not work as described, work erratically, or do not work at all. I have got the CC Photoshop to perform a linear gradient from layer to black background. That is all CC Photoshop can do consistently for me. For multi-step tutorials, the steps are consistent, but CC Photoshop popups and resutls literally change with each gradient attempt. Freaky application failures. 100% of time CC Photoshop fails, applying the gradient from an object in foreground to a black background.
Layer foreground to black background must be the default. Anything else fails and is highly erratic. It is as if this CC Photoshop is intended as a supplement to whatever they are using in the tutorials. For example, If I had the money for a full Photoshop CS6 box, everything would work fine? CC Photoshop is a total fail on this computer. Adobe telephone support results the same failure. I am always going to get a call back "with a resolution". but the callback never comes, or it comes with the excuse "we are working on this". All I want is a Foreground to Background transparency gradient for a selected layer... ever since the CC beta trial appeared a year ago. For example, how do I create a radial transparency gradient using CC Photoshop?
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.

When printing a vector illustration in PDF format, my gradients that fade to 0% over a surface aren't coming out right. The gradient appears like a box with a hard edge, rather than fading away. It looks like this when viewing the file , but when printed I am getting this . (don't mind the color, it is a bad quality photo)

I am trying to creating an eye lid image to for a video. I would like to make two extremely large black circles that are totally opaque at the top and then as the image approaches the bottom there would be a gradation of transparency where at the very bottom of the circles the image is totally transparent.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know that I can assign transparency to an element (even to an entire layer). But is it possible to apply transparency to an element on a GRADIENT basis? In the following image, I'd like to have the portion between the outer boundary of the gray shape and the red shape become more and more transparent. So that at the outer edge, you'd see NOTHING below the gray shape--but the closer you get to the red shape, the more you'd see through the gray shape.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIt seems I'm unable to save a png (or gif) with transparency.
I want to convert a white background to a transparent background so I perform the steps below but unfortunately the exported image still has a white backgroud. I've tried exporting to gif but that doesn't make a difference. Here are the steps:
1. I first add Alpha Channel
2. Select color to alpha and select white (this gets rid of the white background but now my image looks ugly as all the white is gone and it's partially transparent so I perform the next steps to add the white back to the image)
3. Duplicate the layer
4. On the second layer I add a layer mask and initialize it to white
5. On the second layer I use the bucket to color it all white
6. With the second layer selected I meticulously erase the white background knowing that if I accidently erase too much it wont be a big deal - it will only begin to expose the ugly image that.
7. I'm happy with the image so I merge the layers
8. Export to png and I make certain the "Save color values from transparent pixels" is unchecked

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.).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been experiencing problems with the Gradient editor since I got PS and the problem is that whenever I create a gradient through the gradient editor and then load it, it does load it and instead just duplicates the ones that already exist.
I save all gradients at:

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!
