I need help in fading a color in Adobe.

I have two images. One I need to be vibrant and the other I need faded out. Have posted two examples below.

Vibrant Color Ex.

Not crazy about the effect, but if that’s what you need, try lowering the contrast.

You can put it as a low-opacity layer on a white background layer.

The white numeral in his fade example was darkened though. I don’t like it, just plain muddy looking, but to do it I still think -contrast is the answer. He might be having to match previously stuff done by someone else:\

Thanks for the response, the contrast method provides the look I am looking for. Unfortunately, it only let’s me apply this feature once I save the file as a .jpg or .gif. It will not apply the contrast adjustment when I am working on the .psd file.

And when I apply it to the .jpg or .gif file it makes the white background an offwhite. I need the background to be transparent. I am still learning Photoshop and this is probably something stupid on my part.

Thanks for all the good advice.

I’m assuming you’re trying to apply it to a psd with more than 1 layer and effect. Go to the top most layer, select and "copy merged"; paste this to a new layer or new image file, then apply the -contrast and save.
