Fading a Filter


Fading a filter enables you to make the filter effect more transparent or to adjust the light or color density for the filter effect. Using the Fade capability gives you even greater control over how the filter affects the image.

Note

The Fade command may not be available for all filters. It also is not available after you save and close the image; you must use it during the current image-editing session. It is, however, available for some of the painting tools in Photoshop and works for those just as described here.

  1. Display the layer that holds the filtered image content. The selected layer's content will appear.

  2. Select the filtered area , if necessary. A selection marquee will appear.

  3. Click on Edit . The Edit menu will appear.

  4. Click on Fade (Filter Name or Filter Gallery ) . The Fade dialog box will open .

    click to expand
  5. Drag the Opacity slider . The Opacity setting will adjust accordingly .

  6. Click on the down arrow beside the Mode list. The Mode list will open.

  7. Click on a mode in the list. The image or selection will preview the selected Opacity and Mode settings.

  8. Click on OK . The dialog box will close, and Photoshop will apply the fade.
