Well I need to know how to fade in photoshop.

 

 

 

And yes I have tried the HELP section this is what it says:

 

 

 

To fade the effect of a filter, painting tool, or color adjustment:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Apply a filter, painting tool, or color adjustment to an image or selection.

 

 

 

2. With the affected area still selected, choose Edit > Fade.

 

 

 

3. Select the Preview option to preview the effect.

 

 

 

4. Drag the slider to adjust the opacity, from 0% (transparent) to 100%. (See Specifying opacity, flow, strength, or exposure.)

 

 

 

5. For Mode, choose a blending mode. (See Selecting a blending mode.)

 

 

 

6. Click OK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: The Color Dodge, Color Burn, Lighten, Darken, Difference, and Exclusion modes do not work on Lab images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that's double dutch to me, I was wondering could someone explain to me exactly what to do, and tell me where the things are (e.g: paint tool, or how do I apply a filter)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks.

right after you apply a filer/do something

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

go to edit > fade

To "fade" go to the layer window. It should be near the lower right corner. Click the layer and there will be opacity on the top right corner of the window. Change the percent to a low number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The paintbucket is on the tools window. Filters are on the top in the menu option named filters.

I don't have a layer window, how do I open it?

 

 

 

Right now I only have 2 windows open the picture and the tools window.....

go to windows > layer window

Ok thanks, but now my problem is that the layer is locked which means I can't change the opacity.

 

 

 

How do I unlock the layer??

well, what i do is duplicate it and delete the old locked one.

 

 

 

Dunno if its the best way, but its what i do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to duplicate just right click on the layer

In the layer window. It shouls be under opacity. It says lock. The last icon on the right is a lock symbol click it to unlock/lock.

 

 

 

And if its the background layer, it can't be unlocked.

When I go to the Layer (or any other of these, e.g:view, edit ..etc)

 

 

 

it's gray which means I can't use it how do I change this then?
