***GETxERxDONE*** · 11-17-2007, 05:24 PM

working on something and need to know how to fade..maybe if you just tell me how to get to the tool i can figure it out. thanks

No need for 2 threads for the same thing

Fading from a picture to nothing (transparent) can be done using the feathering option

gradiants will work as well

***GETxERxDONE*** · 11-18-2007, 01:22 AM

i guess what i wanted to do whas blend. and i made a new thread because alot of people looked at the last one so i didnt figure those people would look again.

but i guess what i needed how to blend..like the fire and the hood

I have no idea what other thread you are talking about. Care to post a link?

If you are asking what I think you are asking, then using gradiants would be your easiest bet... but like I said, I'm not 100% sure what you are referring to.

Just looked at the other thread.... assuming you have everything on different layers then apply a Gradient Layer Mask to fade the flames out.

***GETxERxDONE*** · 11-18-2007, 03:32 AM

yeah i do have things on different layers..well i can get it if i dont but im pretty sure i do

PM me if you need more help

If you are truly interested in learning more then doing just car related photoshops check out the weekly podcasts from photoshopusertv.com and if you really really want to get into it perhaps get a membership to the NAPP.

Make a new layer, use either white to black or transparent to black gradient, in the direction you want the fade. Put that layer over the top of the image, change the image layering to "Multiply" (or keep it as-is if you used transparent) and then lessen opacity to about 50%. That's one way to do it.

im taking a photography class next semester, then after that i can take the photoshop class. and ill look into that too kelmar..are podcasts free? i have zune so i dunno

thanks izzy ill keep that in mind..im excited to try this lol, but i gotta get in the bed

Yeah, this one is free and it's amazing the different stuff that you can learn from it. The guys on the show are amazing and have released some great books with a plethora of information as well. I am also a self-taught photoshop guy. I thought I knew a lot (obviously I knew there was still a lot that I didn't know) and I've learned a TON from these guys. You can download it each week from that site.

You don't need an ipod to watch them. The term "podcast" is rather misleading as you don't have to have an ipod to use it. All you need is a itunes -OR- quicktime to watch it.

havnt really gotten a chance to try anything that you suggested but i did this real quick..what u think? it needs the hood fixed and the oultine around the windows inside..but i still think its an improvement since it all flows better.
