0 Pox Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 just lower the layer's transparency and export on top of whatever color you're using as the very bgcolor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tlogank Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 there is no color going on top. It is just for a myspace page...so I am not doing layers. I just need to make this photo more transparent/washed out. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoeC Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Option 1: a) If the layer has a little lock beside it in the Layers Palette, double click it, and press enter (this unlocks the layer) b) Now, press [CTRL] + [sHIFT] + [N] - new layer c) Drag the newest layer underneath the first one d) Click once on the new layer, so it is selected, then press [D] - this will reset your colours, then press [CTRL] + [bACKSPACE] to fill it with white e) Lastly, select the top layer, and in the topright of the Layers Palette, knock Opcaity down to around 20%, maybe lower. Option 2, not as good, but easier: a) Goto Image > Adjustments > Brightness b) Whack the brightness up until it looks washed out enough :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
