Make A Transparent Gradient In Photoshop

Of all the many things you can do in Photoshop, one useful technique that could be beneficial to know is creating transparent gradients where one end of the gradient is opaque and the other transparent. In this tutorial we’ll be using layer masks as a quick and easy way of creating a transparent gradient mask in Photoshop.

    Quite possibly one of the simplest how to videos, without any nonsense at the beginning. Right in there, getting my hands dirty quickly. Perfect.

    Thanks, But it doesn't work for me. I can't see the transparancy box that you don't discuss. How can i make that box invisible. It's Next to the Dither box.

    Love the simplicity! A couple of things. The letter "D" will reset the swatches to white and black. The letter "X" will switch the colors in between the foreground and background. Finally, you can (and probably should) continue to work and add more layers without clicking on "Apply Layer Mask".
