Okay, I have a piece that has 2 layers. The bottom layer is nothingness or pure transparent, and the top layer is a picture of a women sitting at a computer. I've tried to use the gradient tool with the "foreground to transparent" ability turned on and instead I get some sort of "picture to white bleed". Any help is thankful with helping me figure out how to make the tansparent bleed.

BTW, since this is my first question/post, I thought I would say hey to everyone real quick!

Thanks!

Please disreguard this post. I found out how to do this...

You make a layer mask above the layer you want to show through. You then switch the foreground and the background colors making sure to make the foreground black, and the background white. You then select the gradient tool and make the bleed with the foreground to transparent option used. Then all you know: VOILA!
