gllincoln Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Thing is - I have a snippet (pixel layer) that I want to paste on top of an existing layer but reduce the opacity of the top so that the layer below the freshly pasted layer semi-shows thru - so you can see a mix of both layers. I select the layer, adjust the opacity slide - which appears to be enabled at that point, but NOTHING changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess: you're adjusting the wrong Opacity slider. For example, you're using the slider in the Color panel rather than the slider in the Layers panel.

gllincoln Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 Thank you - I had looked for an alternate layer opacity slider vs. color panel but didn't spot it hiding at the bottom right corner of the layer effects panel. I had merely scanned the left hand menu tree. Your suggestion reinforced the idea that there HAD to be an opacity slider for the layer buried in the menus somewhere! 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 It's not buried in the menus, and it's not part of Layer Effects. It's right at the very top of the panel, just below the header "Layers", and above the layers themselves: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
