So folks, I’m running Photoshop 7. When applying a gradient of any color to transparency, the transparency no longer works. It is as if I were simply using the bucket.

This is really weird. It started yesterday & I’ve never experienced anything like this before.

I tried uninstalling & reinstalling but I still have the same problem. Any ideas out there? Has anyone ever experienced this before?

Hope to hear back from a few of you on this.

Peace, Tristan

If you use a gradient with transparency, and have the transparency checkbox checked — it WILL work.

It SHOULD work. It is SUPPOSED to work. But it does not work.

Got any other ideas?

Thx..

Yes — you’re making a mistake.

Check the transparency box in the options bar.
Check that you have the right gradient.
Check that either the gradient overlays the existing image.

OK.. so the resolution.. My prefences folder became corrupt.

I’m in Win2k, so close Photoshop > go to c:.documents & settings > your profile > application data > adobe > photoshop > there is now a folder called 7.0… drag it to the desktop. Restart photoshop. Apparently this should work for many sort of non-functioning tools.

Peace.
