Hi,
I'm not very experienced with image editing software (but know computers in general inside-out) and wonder if someone can help me. I have both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and the Gimp so help in either would be appreciated.
I'm working on a background for a website. I want to fade from a Vista-style image to transparent similar to a gradient. (Top=Image, bottom = 100% transparent)
The idea is to put this image at the top of a page and it will give a nice effect which will fade to whatever background colour we happen to have on the page. I plan to have a number of layers so certain parts of the image "hang down" further.
I know how to do an Alpha gradient with the gradient tool (Photoshop) but am unsure how I would achieve the same effect using an image instead of plain colour.
Many thanks in advance
In case it makes any difference, I'm generating the image using the technique mentioned here:
