A and ∝ in the Info panel


Recommended Posts

That's the alpha channel value. 

 

In RGB:
0 = fully transparent
127 = Half transparent
255 = fully opaque

 

In LAB/HSL/Greyscale:
0% = fully transparent
49%  = Half transparent
100% =  fully opaque

 

To see it for yourself:

1) Open a new document
2) Go to Document > Transparent Background (to toggle background to transparent)
3) Use the Rectangle Tool to drag a rectangle on the canvas
4) As you change the layer opacity of the rectangle, the Alpha value in the Info Pane will change accordingly

Half transparent should be 50%. You've been shortchanged: ask for your money back! :lol:
