Hello well i just discovered while trying to merge my layer down it dosn't...hmm how to say merge.

I merge then....

Layer 2 goes over layer 1 and you cant see layer 1.

So can you please help.

Your Layer 2 gradient is fully opaque.

It's a black to white gradient which when you merge down just simply replaces anything below it.

You need to make a black to transparent white gradient so when you merge it down, it applies a black gradient on whatever is beneath it. :?: :arrow: :idea:

You can do this by expanding the Colors window via the More button, then manipulating the Transparency - Alpha slider at the bottom of the window for the white colour only. You'll want the figure to read '0' for it to be fully transparent.
