Gradient tool

[fearofflying]

i'm brand new so forgive me if this topic is somewhere in this forum.

 

I want to fade an image to white across its width. I have a number of letterbox shaped images which I want to be normal on the left hand side and fading from about halfway into white on the right hand side.

JimmyJack's technique explained on page 3 of the [AP] Editing a gradient mask layer topic may do what you want. He created a video as well: https://youtu.be/m1Ztfe5wmHQ

Hello Keith,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Which Affinity app are you using?

THANKS GUYS Affinity photo

You can do it in Affinity Designer as well using a rectangle with a gradient fill as a mask set to eraser mode:

Hi PixelPest,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

You can also apply the linear transparency directly to the image using the Transparency Tool.

Thanks for the Welcome.

And thanks for hint on the transparency tool I wasn´t aware of.  :)

 

Cheers

Hello fearofflying,

 

I do this alway with layer masks.

Click on layer mask.

Fill is with a gradient white to black.

White is transparent and nothing changes.

Black hides the layer.

Depending on your project, you need a white layer below.

I used this in my tutorials.

 

Ciao Jack
