• Change the opacity of a selection on a layer without changing the entire layer.

  I use Photoshop CS2 for several years to improve my photos, but earlier met with something simple, that I can't find out how.   I have a photo of an interior room with defined exposure mainly for the open window on the background layer, but the rest of the room is very dark.  The only other layer, the top, I got the same correctly exposed for the room, which overexposes the aea of window.  The upper and lower layers are superimposed perfectly, and the top layer is at 100% opacity.  I selected the window on the top layer and to change the opacity of the area selected to mix properly with window on the lower layer without changing the opacity of the layer.  No matter what I do, change the opacity seems to only affect the entire layer, and I didn't understand how to isolate the area selected for the opacity change.

  I can cut the selection to reveal the darker window on the bottom layer, but it does not give me the flexibility I need to balance the two exhibitions. A change of opacity would be ideal.

  Any ideas?

  OK - I've found a workaround.  I made the change of opacity for the entire layer so that the window looked the way I wanted to and flattened the image. It left me with an excellent rendering of the window of the room.  Then I added a new layer with an opacity of 100% with the image of the maid's room, but the overexposed window.  I repeated the selection in the window on the new layer and make a cut, which revealed the right window in the image of the maid's room.  Then I flattened the image and there

  I close this issue as resolved.

• Can we change the opacity of the layer?

  Can we change the opacity of the layer in flash CS4? Such as changing the opactiy of the photoshop layer.

  No and Yes.

  No.. Layer is just for the stacking of things and by organizing your work. Therefore, there is no way to change a whole layer.

  Yes. Video, graphics and button symbols are the main paradigms in Flash, and each of them can have their transparency altered. (In Flash is called alpha.) So to convert your artwork in a movieclip or chart, and then in the properties panel are looking for color effects drop down and change the alpha.

  Or you can draw your art with colors that already have a defined alpha value.

• Keyboard shortcuts do not work after changing the blending mode to a layer

  There is a strange bug that I experienced with photoshop. Whenever I change the blending mode to a layer (for example by selecting "Multiply" in the menu drop-down blending mode), my keyboard shortcuts stop working until I have click on the canvas again. It's annoying because often, I'll be on the Brush tool and I did draw on the canvas and press ctrl + z to re - activate keyboard shortcuts. I'm curious to know if this problem occurs to someone else and if anyone has found a solution for this.

  Version of Photoshop: 20150722r.168 x 64

  Operating system: Windows 10

  It happens on Windows, because the drop-down list with blend modes remains highlighted or active (around the blue line). You can press ENTER to confirm and delete the highest point around blend mode dropdown or use keyboard shortcuts to change the layer blending mode. To change the layer blend mode, you must have selected layer and then press Shift + Alt + letter for the blend mode. This shortcut does not work in the case where the tool you are using have mode option in the blending Options bar.

  Cyrus salvation,

  I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused, there is already a bug reported for the same issue & we are working on that.

  In the meantime, you can keep the opacity to 100% or use a light shade of color to highlight the text.

  Kind regards

• How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

  How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

  When I try it myself my gradient everything turns black.

  To add to the above, you can just set the angle. If you want to use other existing parameters, you need to get from the layer. The code in this other thread shows a way to get them.

  But if you do not have the values for any other reason, you can get the handle to the layer, make a duplicate of it with all the settings and just crush those you want to change.

  It is a way to just change the angle while keeping the other existing settings.

• How to change the opacity via Alt - Right Click brush sizing?

  Opacity is displayed as well as the diameter and hardness, when Alt - right click is done using a round brush (in this case, with the Dodge tool).

  

  I guess it's late, but I'm not a gesture that causes the opacity to change in this mode.  I have just the lack?  I tried all the modifier keys and moving the mouse all over the place.  I even tried the scroll wheel, but could not get the opacity to change.

  How can I change the opacity (outside the old traditional way)?

  -Christmas

  As far as I know, here's what you can do:

  Guinot

  On screen BRUSH RESIZE and HARDNESS/OPACITY

  Mac

  • Drag left/right = brush resizing: Opt-Ctrl + click - drag
  • Up/down = hardness of the brush drag: Opt + Cmd + Ctrl + click - drag
    (or opacity if the option is disabled)

  Windows

  • Drag left/right = brush resizing: Alt + right-click-drag
  • Up/down = hardness of the brush drag: Alt + shift + right-click-drag
    (or opacity if the option is disabled)

  Note: In Change Preferences > General you can uncheck vary the hardness of the round brush based on a vertical HUD movement if you want to change the opacity instead of hardness.

• How can I change the opacity of the layer mask?

  HI -.

  
  

  I used a layer mask to hide portions of a picture.

  Now I need to leave this hidden part of show at, say, 50% opacity (I'll have to experiment to find the optimal percentage.).

  I'd like to screw up the layer mask and start on another.  Already, I thought I could duplicate the masked layer, remove the mask on the copy and set its opacity to 50% but now I have 2 layers.  I suspect that there is a way to do without a double layer.

  Is it possible to adjust the opacity of the layer mask?

  TIA your entry

  Have you tried to use the controls in the masks palette?

  You control the opacity of the area exposed with the opacity of the layer and the density of the hidden box with the density on the masks palette slider.

• Change the opacity for group of objects on a single object, but not each other?

  I have a several simple objects of color filling all United over a context with a Uni fill object.  I want to reduce the opacity of objects on the object in the background.  However, my makeup of efforts the opacity of objects change on all other objects and I want to keep their strong colors.

  

  And it's the one with an opacity, but I want to stay solid on the other.

  

  Thank you

  Martin

  I've selected all the objects at the top of the page and click on the little circle thing circle in the layers palette and then adjust the opacity and it seems to work very well.

  It's because you have now applied the transparency of a layer setting. (When you clicked on the Meatball, you targeted layer, no not objects).

  You could have done the same thing by bringing TOGETHER actually what you call 'a group of objects' and by applying the transparency to the group setting, instead of to individual objects. (See why it is important to try to talk in terms of the program?)

  Always have the appearance Palette open so that you can always keep your eye on what Illustrator called the current selection. It will help you avoid a lot of confusion if you keep in mind, what kind of object (Path, group, layer) said Illustrator is selected.

• Is it possible to change the opacity in the Fade In by character?

  I did a fade in effect on a text that I want to have the fade in effect, but I want to control * when the letters actually fade. I want to slow it down. Letters will be integrated as soon as now a little too quickly. Y at - it a command for it, or I'll have to do a fade custom in force?

  Expand the text layer

  Click Open the host properties to the right menu & choose 'enable by character '.

  Expand the animate menu again and choose the opacity

  You should now have a "host 1" just above your conversion options.

  Expand this & extend the 'range selector.

  adjust the opacity in the range selector 0

  now, play with and affects the values ' start/end' to see the opacity of character.

  You can add as many hosts you want (I think)

  And once you have the initial host, you can use the option 'Add' to add the additional properties and selectors

• Change the opacity RangeCursor programmatically

  Hi, I'm changing the look of the chart by programming RangeCursor.

  That's what I

  rangeCursor.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
  
  rangeCursor.CrosshairBrush = Brushes.Red;
  
  rangeCursor.FillBrush = Brushes.Red;
  
  rangeCursor.FillBrush.Opacity = 0.25f;

  Everything works until the last line where I try to set the opacity.  I get this error:

  An exception of first chance of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in WindowsBase.dll

  Additional information: unable to set a property on the object '#FFFF0000' because it is in a read-only State.

  If there is a handler for this exception, the program can continue safely.

  Is it possible to avoid it?  I have actually even need to change opacity by programming, but when I put FillBrush to red it changes the XAML setting hardcoded 25 to 100%.  This is why I am trying to add this line.

  Thank you!

  The WPF Brushes class returns shared brushes, which are in a State (read-only) frozen. This avoids a local change to a brush to any other object in the application that happened to use the same brush.

  As described in Freezable Objects Overview, to modify a frozen object simply call the Clone method and together Opacity on the result.

• How to change the opacity of the brush

  I know that I can change alpha. But I want it to be transparent. I want to, like when I draw a line, and I draw another line ontop, I'd still be able to see one below. but all on the same layer. When you do a drawing into a symbol, then you go to alpha color effect and select put the alpha to 50%, then do you the same thing with another object and then to put ontop of eachother. This effect is what I want, but by drawing and without needing to change the effects. If you still don't understand, here's a picture of what I want by simply drawing with a brush.

  Try this (unfortunately I have Polish interface):

  (1) set color and less than 100% Alpha

  

  (2) select the Brush tool

  (3) on the pop-up Panel "object drawing" button trick (I'm not sure this name in English)

  

  (4) allows you to draw
