 Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2005 4:35 pm Post subject: Still can't add transparent... |
 |
|
well, I need to add a semi-transparent image to my newly made tiled background. a guy earlier said to open them both up and then click the one I want on top and drag it over, but that wouldn't do anything...whatever tool is open tries to work instead of drag. Please help me with this, do I need to open new layers maybe? I am very inexperienced but with patience and your help I am getting there! I know I will need to adjust the opacity of the one I want on top, right?
Also, I would like to know how to cut an image out of a pic and have the area around it transparent so that it won't hide what I lay it on top of once I figure out how to lay it on top of my background. Maybe I need to change the pic's format then erase what I don't want?
Please help and thanks in advance for helping out this new-bee!

He meant click and drag the thumbnail in the Layers palette. Drag it onto the other document; a new layer will be automatically created with the content on it.

First copy the layer onto the other document, as I described above. Then use the Eraser tool to remove the areas you don't want. (If you want to preserve the hidden areas but just make them invisible, there is a way. Select the layer's thumbnail and go Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal All. Now use the eraser tool; areas you erase will become invisible, but not be deleted forever. You can use the Brush tool to paint these areas back in later.)
Hope this helps! Good luck.

Thanx a lot, now I get the layer thing, well at least what I am doing now, I know I still have a lot to learn! I didn't try the erase yet, but I am sure it will work. I'll let you know if I have trouble with it.
Thanks again bro--be safe and be well!
