SPD54 Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 I want to take the opacity of half of a picture down would I use a mask as not used a mask and not sure if I'm thinking correctly. Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Steve Quote
v_kyr Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 There are many different ways to do that beside masking, so for which Affinity app? Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2
v_kyr Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 I show you quickly with a mask in APh v1, for APh v2.2 it's pretty much the same procedure ... Create a Mask down your image Select the mask layer in the layers panel Select the rectangular marquee selection tool and select with that half of your image Select the Fill can tool and apply a middle gray fill, the choosen gray level color (dark to ligh gray etc.) will influence the luminance/shine through degree here Dismiss/hide the selection Ctrl-D/Cmd-D A quick made Screencast ... screencast_wespe.mp4 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Pšenda Posted September 22, 2023 Posted September 22, 2023 If you are not comfortable with a sharp transition in transparency, you can use a mask with a gradient.
