Gradients with one stop transparent

[evtonic3]

If I create a gradient fill with one stop a color and the other is a color but with the opacity set to zero, I still get a mix of the color that I wanted transparent still visible in the gradient, how do I get rid of it entirely leaving only the one color and fade to transparent?

Hi evtonic3,

You can apply a solid colour to your shape then use the Transparency Tool on the object to create the transparency.

Do I understand you correctly, you've set the left end to yellow with 100% opacity and the right end to some other color (greenish?) with 0% opacity. But you don't want the other color (the greenish) to appear in the gradient at all. Instead, you want the yellow to fade to transparent?

 

Why not set both ends to the same color and set one end at 100% and the other end at 0% opacity? Does that not produce the result you want?

 

See screen shots, or use MEB's solution (which he posted while I was making screen shots).

Thanks I will try this too dhayton.

I'm sort of having this same issue with a light haze of the color that was set to 0% opacity but the transparence tool seemed to fix it. I still get a harsh line. I've tried different blend modes but still get a harsh line. Am I missing a certain setting?
