What I’m trying to do is make an entire image SHEER, in other words see-through, but with all the colors maintained. Using the opacity control on the layers palette it looks like I’m doing that, the gray checkerboard appears underlying the image, but when I try to copy or clone that image onto another one, it goes on completely opaque, no matter how low I take the opacity! BUT, if I save the image as a PNG, and re-import it, then it can be copied or cloned and it IS sheer.
Clearly, I’m making some sort of stupid error here; could somebody please tell me what it is, lol?
Also: I’ve tried copying the sheer image into the clipboard of the brush pallete, but the result is also always opaque; is that fixable?
For bonus points: Is there a way to make only PART of an image see-through? Not colorless, just SHEER. Taking a color to alpha sometimes creates exactly that effect, by accident as far as I can tell, because I can’t make it do that deliberately…?!
