How to create a transparent gradient?

I use Photoshop Elements 8.  This could have a very simple answer, but I can't understand it.  I'm trying to take a layer and simply get a solid image to a transparent gradient, while it disappears gradually.  It's hard to explain, but I hope you understand.  Please let me know if you know how to do this.  Thanks to a bouquet.

It would look somewhat like this:

IIIIIIIIII IIII II I I I I

IIIIIIIIII IIII II I I I I

IIIIIIIIII IIII II I I I I

^                                      ^

Solid picture

Part of gradually

Picture disappears

If that makes sense.

Is that what you are looking for?  I used the method of Group of clipping that mentioned Terri.

1 added an empty layer below the photo layer and grouped the 2 layers.

2 set the gradient options: linear, to the first plan of Transparent

3. calls on the gradient of approximately 1/4 from the edge left completely to the right edge.

You can continue to draw the gradient with different staart and endpoints until you get the desired result. Just a matter of trial and error.

I added the white layer so that you can see the results.

    FaqHeader2.png

    Hello, Im using photoshop 6 and Im trying to apply an effect to a photo of the banner, which will be compatible for more pictures of the banner of the same size.

    I have attached a picture of this.


    As you can see the gradient (which contains the text) starts with a gray and then white. The right edge that meets the blue sky is not a hard edge but rather a soft edge.


    I'm not sure how to create that soft edge. Someone else had mentioned to use the gradient with colors of gray to white then to transparent to create this right edge soft.  I'm not sure how to implement that.

    I used a brush in this case, and as you can see, the line is uneven.


    Also, I think that the filter used here is ripple or Ocean Ripple.

    I was hoping if someone could guide me through what would be the correct steps to create this effect, so that I can use systematically for several photos

    Unless you're doing something special here (I'm not sure what you mean by "does not cover the background image"), I don't think you need an 'effect '.

    Try this:

    private Rectangle createSelectWindow(final Color color, double length) {
    
            Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(length, length);
            rect.setFill(Color.RED);
            rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
            rect.setOpacity(0.5);  // i.e. make it 50% visible
            rect.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
            return rect;
    }
    

    Or, if you do not want the border to be translucent and just fill, try this:

    private Rectangle createSelectWindow(final Color color, double length) {
    
            Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(length, length);
            rect.setFill(new Color(1, 0, 0, 0.5));  // rgba - use an alpha of 0.5 on the fill color
            rect.setStroke(Color.RED);
            rect.setCursor(Cursor.HAND);
            rootPane.getChildren().add(rect);
    }
    
  • How to add a transparent gradient fill or 50% to a .ai imported path?

    Hello all;

    I need help. My task sounds simple enough but do not know how to accomplish it.

    I created the following path in Illustrator (see image - the top one). Actually, it is a graph of the lower third.

    I managed to importating in .ai. However, should I use a solid or a layer of shape or it doesn't matter?

    I can add a stroke that affects the color and the thickness of the outlines OK.

    However, I can't understand how to add a gradient fill, or one that is 50% transparent? Can anyone help?

    Oh... I will mention that I use After Effects CS3.

    Thank you.

    Tim

    Import into AE_CS3.jpg

    Looks like you're a real novice in Illustrator. I create the entire work in Illustrator and import the AI as a composition. Put each item on a separate layer.

    Take your form and complete with a gradient. Check the appearance and adjust the opacity. Duplicate the shape and caress the first Folio and remove the gradient. Adjust the opacity of the stroke (if you wish) using appearance.

    If you don't know how to make this go a Google search for Assembly of the Illustrator Gradients. You can take a look at this Basic Intro to the Illustrator Gradients to Layers Magazine.

  • How to create a pattern gradient in Illustrator

    I don't know the best way to describe what it is, so I'm the appellant a "gradient pattern. Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to make a gradient like the one in the photo, where the forms are located in the upper part and disperse evenly down. Any advice on this is appreciated, thanks!7426_Techfit_Primeknit_MF.png

    It does not really resemble a traditional mask opacity job for me because there is no actual all bland, its more to do with the gradual change of size and spacing of the forms in the model. an opacity mask would be a great way to face fading from 100% to 0% in the tone of a model, but it could probably be done with future adjustments easier to 'fill' just a model with a shade of color gradient?

    There was some discussion recently that resembled halftone patterns and a guy showed how to use different (other than the default points) forms under the mixed model that would achieve the result of half of this design superior. you will have to look a few threads of halftone pattern to identify it.

    as a simple manual option you could just draw the shape on top, then scale and adjust one down and use a form to make a "column of the model, then repeat it across the page.

    the lower part dotty looks more like a traditional model of halftone, Phantasm plugin allows great control of things like that, or you can just play with a radial gradient black and white as a fill of a circle and use the model of half-tone effect to create the points.

    Hi undlou,

    Could you please follow the steps that might help you below:

    1. Create a stroke (any color) of the appropriate size for the form for which you wish to transparent race (although it will look like this, this is not exactly what you are doing to achieve this.)
    2. Separate this race on its own layer by double clicking on the styles of the shape layer and selecting "Create layers." Skip the rest for now.
    3. Now, it is on its own layer, Cmd-click form of the trait in the layers panel, which will choose the form.
    4. Invert the selection now shift + Cmd + I or select > Inverse upstairs.
    5. Select the layer below, which you will be masking the effect of STROKE separated layer.
    6. Select 'Add a layer mask' at the bottom of the layers panel.
    7. Erase the race effect layer.
    8. To clean things up, if you want, merge this layer with the top layer and all the effects of separate layer to create a layer.

    tailchakra,

    If I (put) understand it, you can use a linear gradient 90 degrees or - 90 degrees, or you can use a raidal gradient and ClickDrag with the gradient tool from the top anchor at one of the Anchor Points low corner.

  • How to create a transparent border

    Hello.

    I have two layers (icons). Among the ovelap icons either. But the layers are visually merged in this case.

    I created a stroke of whitesmoke around the heart icon. He made a turn, but doesn't look good when the icon is used on different backgrounds.

    So my question is: How can I make this transparent move?

    gel0i0ybr4.jpg

    The quickest way would be hold CTRL and click on the layer of heart to get the selection rectangle > select > modify > Expand add the thickness of the line, click Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection and select the layer of the sewing machine, click the mask at the bottom of the Layer palette. Once you have the mask place date back to the heart layer and hide the race... ?

    Hope this helps?

  • How to create a transparent image (cut) on top of a solid?

    Hello. I try to use Pathfinder > less before creating transparent rays on the vectorization of text, but can't. Here is a link to how it should be: http://graphicmechanic.com/IMAGES/ingen.png. This is almost exactly how I'd like, but I want just so that when I put the graph on a picture the rays do not show up as a white but are rather transparent.

    If you want transparent or just went?

    If the latter:

    Make a trace of the rays, then copy text and paste in front of all (it is indicated, is not it?). The letters must also be a compound path.

    Then select the copy of text and the rays, take the pathfinder Panel and subtract.

  • How to create a transparent png of sem

    I created a rectangle with corners rounded in Fireworks and I would like to save it as a transparent png, so that the central part of the rectangle is transparent, but the outside of corners is not transparent.  This is so that I can overlay on a background image to a Web page, which makes the image have rounded corners.  How can I do in the middle of the rectangle is transparent?

    Make a standard rectangle that is the same size as your rounded rectangle (or whatever it is, to display). The information panel is an easy way to ensure that the size and location is accurate.

    Use the layers panel, move the rectangle below your rounded rectangle.

    Select both objects, then go into the menu modify > combine paths > Punch. It will drill a hole of rectangle to round in your rectangle corners.

    (Punch punches of the superior shape in the lower order, that is why your existing rounded rectangle should be above your new standard rectangle in the stack of layers).

    Something like this (where I have the biggest standard rectangle rounded rectangle). Half upper picture shows the two individual forms. Half lower shows the standard rectangle with the rounded rectangle knocked out of him.

    But... what you can do is to select your image, copy (Ctrl-c), then select your rounded rectangle (or any shape), then go to the Edit menu > paste inside (or Ctrl-Shift-V). (It's a good technique when your image is exactly the size you want, you want just rounded corners).

    Or, you can do a white rounded rectangle, place it on the part of your picture that you want to display, select the rectangle and the image and go to the Edit menu > mask > Group as mask. (It's a good technique when your image is larger than the part that you want to display, but you don't know exactly what you want to do).

  • How to create a transparent 3D object with some textured tasks (CS6)?

    So I want to find a way to create a 3D object without being all white and opac... I tried to decrease the opacity, but it decreases the other textures (layers) too...

    Thanks for the help!

    In the library of materials, make a click on the right where is the folder icon and choose 'New Texture'. Photoshop will open a new file for you. To design the texture of opacity, you should only use grayscale: Black will be transparent, white opacque, gray will be semitrasparent (the lighter to, the more opaque). Close and save you texture once you're done, you should see your object 3d with the transparent and opaque areas.
