How can I create a new layer that is a gradient?

Hi, I'm very new to scripting photoshop and have some difficulty.

I am looking for a way to take a picture I have and configure it to have a gradient opacity as he approaches middle, my thought on how to do was simply to create a layer that is a gradient from the upper left to lower right and secure then as a vector mask.

Any ideas on how I could create this gradient layer of script or a better method to do this opacity gradient?

Thanks in advance,

Levianth

You can try this:

// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;
if (theLayer.isBackgroundLayer == true) {theLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false};
// create gradient layer;

How can I create a new Style that can be applied to an object?

To the active menu there is a tab called "Styles". My question is how can I create a new Style that I can apply to an object? A link to a tutorial or something like that would be helpful, because I can't find anything! Thanks in advance for helping me eliminate this frustration!

What I want to do is create a style library, which are basically photos of different Woods.

There are two approaches you can try.

Clipping paths

1. draw the shape of the part as a closed path.

2 position the wood grain image above or below the shape where you want it positioned.

3. cut

4. Select the closed path.

5. glue on the inside.

See: Using FreeHand MX > content > work with objects > working with clipping paths

Fillings in mosaic

1. use the autotrace to vectorize the image of wood fiber, using many colors.

2. the group the paths (but not the picture) and create a tiled fill,

(1) define the Instance in your own way!
If you simply create a startup nomount with her, and then - in theory - and pfile file you have a conduct of the proceeding (this method is used for example for restoring a backup rman)

(2) you can't. The database files are related to a certain instance. What you can do is to recreate an instance with a different name for example, by using the scripts generated by an "alter database backup controlfile to trace;" command

How can I create a new all-white or all-black layer without changing the current foreground color or background?

I need to create a filled layer of black or white. I need to do WITHOUT changing the current foreground or background colors. So I can't use the bucket tool. The reason is that I have created these layers inside Action and the need the current colors remain unchanged.
Here's the easiest way I found to date:
1. Layer-> new fill layer-> solid color... Select one of the choices other than 'None '. In the color picker dialog box, place the code hex #fff and click OK
2. Layer-> rasterize-> content fill
3. Layer-> Layer Mask-> remove
Can someone suggest a simpler method?

You can simply create a new empty layer and then go to Edit > fill and choose either black or white

How can I create a new gradient based on the current fill color that I am applying it?

I often need to add gradients to shapes that already exist and already have a fill color. I want to add a gradient that would be a mixture of the color that is already there and the black. Gradients of new totally ignore what existed before. Is it possible to include the fill color that is already there in the slope?

In fact, you can skip the step of swatch. You can drag the fill color directly from the toolbar at the appropriate end of the fitting band gradient in the gradient/panel palette; Then, apply the gradient. Be careful, though - you can end up creating a new unwanted color along the gradient stop.

How can I create a new presentation of shop e-commerce in British Colombia? The default layout is inadmissible and who do not steal! :)

Hello to everyone.
I've been building and development using BC for awhile but avoids the functions of e-commerce like the plague, because of all my knowledge and trial a mistake, I couldn't adjust available outside the columns of the table how much I can add. I'm looking to create some sensitive stores but feel completely constrained by the store layout because it can't be adjusted. Yes I tried the same and adjustment module style sheet styles declare my rules with "!" important"with no luck. I then asked the team to BC online chat. If it was still possible, and they said 'no' dish. Then I saw 'light at the end of a tunnel' If you want by browsing a few Business Catalyst models (I honestly can't bring myself to use models that I like a lot of this building and landscaping my own pages). With this model here, the cameras and accessories you can see the shop features sensitive so I know it's possible (Damn you BCGurus and your mad skills). I also found some amazing layouts by Enough of Pollution , which has also made a few sensitive shop like this Web sitelayouts.
Overall, how can I achieve this? How can I create a fully customized store page layout and virtually any custom also available? I have the feeling that I needed to learn the programming language for this liquid, but seriously, the indications at this point would be greatly appreciated! If I learn liquid programming, I'd love to learn where there might be some amazing courses / tutorials / documentation. I have the feeling, it comes down to create my own model of liquid layout and rerouting of the off-set modules in the new model... I'm on the right track?
Sorry, so many questions. Let me tackle that I really want to know haha!
- How can I create a layout of the sensitive shop in British Colombia?
- What would be the necessary steps?
- If I need to build models of liquids, where can I learn all this? (I know that the BC user guide has much butI will not lie, it's a little overwhelming)
Thank you all so much for your time in reading this and I greatly look forward to learn more about Business Catalyst. Honestly, I'd love to try and use this platform for all of my clients.

Hello

Support will be have not said you that it was not possible, they would have told that it is outside the scope of their support. Is this possible? Of course, it's, it's the foundations of basic BC, HTML and CSS more then anything else.

Honestly, it has nothing to do with incredible skill, amazing code or anything else.

First of all, BC is just tags and you should use reference material:
The developer reference

Here you see the overall plan and tags. If you look at the list of product tags you see that you can set in a list schema (no tables).

From there allows you to encode your small layout, large presentation cart layout, provision of registration (payment) because you need to and code the CSS to adapt.

-You can float elements so float the li of the store

-The basics of the CSS to make the elements of fluid width of code etc.

-Questions from the media CSS code to make sensitive matters

All pretty much toast front-end html, css, nothing special here development stuff. You have classes on the points for each element of a line in British Colombia according to the parameters that you set on the tags and so on.

If you want to take the next step you enable liquid markup in the characteristics of BC and take things further.
