Hello.
I have 3 layers.
one represent a gradiant.
second is a picture of water fall.
and third one is the earth.

I want to present the 3 gradiant on each other (at the same order – first is the gradiant, then the water-fall, and last the earth).

"Earth" is with opacity 20, and water-fall is with opacitiy 50. (first layer is greater and include the second one,
and second layer is greater and include the third one).
I see that earth and water-fall picture are merged,
no meter what order I put the layers.

The opacity are fine, because the psd file I make is for a web-site, that have some text,
and I want some gentle background, that won’t interfer the text written.

How can I make the same opacity of layers, but also that the two images above won’t
look like their are "merged" ?

Thanks 🙂

AGAIN! Quick Mask is probably your answer. You may use Opacity to see what below the current layer, but not the best way to do what you try to do.

I would suggest you to spend few months learning something about LAYER (I see you know how to create a newer LAYER but you need more than that), and using the Quick Mask command which will require you to understand Layer, using Opacity, Brush, and may be Marking.

Or it’s very very very and very simple *if* you know how to use Masking command. Lets say it may take you 2-5 minutes *if* you are slow, else it could be less than 1 minute.

only work on 2 layers at a time until you have the two the way you want. —

O.K.

I can mask the image, or doing as Fred answered at "select an image" thread. That solve the problem.

But since you don’t say what Fred said most people don’t know what you are talking about or what you have learned.

How about learn to quote some of the original like most Usenet users do?
