Another Photshop Request

[cad]

photoshop tip...draw a mask(area you want to affect) using the pen tool which draws like connect-the-dots (if you enlarge the pic lots, you can draw very fine masks), on the layers pane, click path, choose make path, set feather to 0 or 1, depending on what the pic is. That "activates the mask".
Choose you color, then when you "fill" the area, use the "gradient" fill with the fade turned on and opacity set to medium.
To use the gradient tool, you click&drag across your mask in the direction of the fade, then release at whatever point you want.
The further you drag across (or past) the mask, the more/less fade you can create.
Then save the pic. If you save as a jpg, your "path" should be saved with the file, and you can re-edit if desired....I will try to post a word doc with some pics if anyone wants.
