Photoshop or Illustrator – gradient BG layer that will become totally transparent just before it reaches the end of the layer.
I believe I am using the gradient tool properly. I have opaque at the left end of a slender layer (4642px wide x 500 high) and it becomes translucent (not transparent) at the right end. I need totally transparent on the right. I would like it to become transparent just before it reaches the right end; but it has to be gradual. I am sort of OK with PS and AI, so whichever is best for you. I don't think this makes any difference, but it will be saved as a .png file and used as background in an asp.net div for a website. Thank you for any help. -- Joe

The layer it's self is transparent. It has the checker pattern that signifies transparency. I am applying a gradient to that layer and I just don't want to see a definite edge on the right. Thank you for answering so quickly. -- Joe

Here is the files. As you said. png works well on websites. They look like they are transparent on the right, but they are not completely. Thank you.Info_Banner_7.psd

And a screen shot of the web site using that PS BG layer. You can see it is not transparent on the right.

Thank you
1. Using Photoshop, Create a new layer in your file.
2. Delete the Background Layer which is probably white.
3. Apply the gradient to the layer.
4. Save the file as a PNG.
Does this make sense? The objective is to make sure you do not have a background color that prevents the transparency.
