Photoshop question - GoFuckYourself.com

How to make layer vanishing from point a to point b? Is there such tool in photoshop that allows for example to have a layer that will be 10% transarent in the left side and will be smoothly disappearing to the right side where will be 95% transarent, almost invisible. I have such tool in Corel PhotoPaint where it's called object transparency but those programs are not much compatible

you could easily accomplish that with a graduated fill layer and then using the proper blend method, for one....

I was going to say to use an overlay with a "screen" fill, then do a gradient black->greyish..

That's essentially a retarded way of doing what mike suggested.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, the easiest way to do this is to apply a layer mask on the layer you want to gradually disappear, then with the layer mask selected, do a white-to-black gradient from left to right.

mask, layer, gradient, filter, delete, feathering...

those are the basics, go from there

here's a ghetto way...

use the eraser tool with a huge feathered brush.. like massive feathered brush. go along the outer edge of the right side of the pic

Haha, yup. I've done that one more times than I can count. Usually I do it on a mask, but still, it's an easy way to get some nice results. ;)

Glad I could help, bb. ;)
