Pigstein Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 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.

Kngkyle Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 right after you apply a filer/do something go to edit > fade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknownmasterofnothing Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigstein Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknownmasterofnothing Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
