 |
|
Hello.
I have been using photoshop for about a year (only for photo editing) and starting to learn how to create images but i need a bit of help.
This should be a pretty easy question for all you Photoshop masters out there.
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. Could something please explain what I need to do.
Thanks
Ben
EDIT: The gradient system i am using is through Blending Options

Hi Ben,
In the Gradient Editor, click the opacity "stop" above the gradient bar and then set its opacity with slider

Hi there
Are you adding a gradient via the layer styles dialogue box? If so, could it be that the layer you're working on, or even the background of the image, isn't transparent? If you're adding a gradient overlay to a coloured layer then you'll get problems with the background shining through?

I am trying to do the gradient via the Blending Options Box. But whatever colour I pick and make it 0% Opacity, there is no transparency just 100% opacity of the colour selected. |
