Can somebody please tell me what the difference between Fill and Opacity is?
It's been buggin the hell out of me and I've been meaning to ask this question for while but keep forgeting.
I think they are the exact samething but but that wouldn't make any sense so there's gotta be a difference. |

I found this, it explains it better than I can. Wayne
Fill
The Fill slider on the Layers palette enables you to achieve two different kinds of opacity on a single layer. The Opacity setting controls the transparency of the layer; a setting of 100% means that the layer beneath the current layer cannot be seen through the objects on the selected later. A setting of 50%, however, fades the layer to allow 50% transparency so that objects on other layers will be visible through the current one. Fill (which is short for Fill Opacity) actually enables you to fade out the pixels or shapes you draw on the selected layer. It is used primarily when you have applied a layer effect, such as Emboss or Drop Shadow. When you reduce the Fill value, the pixels on the layer become increasingly transparent, but the layer effect remains.
