morrey Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ok, this is my first attempt at working in this sort of art program so I am unfamiliar with how it works and the terminology so please bear with me. I am using a color laser printer so I can't go full bleed or borderless for a production piece I am trying to do. The option that I think would be best is to fade to white on the borders but I can't figure out how to make the gradiants plugin translucent or how I might use layers to help me accomplish this task. Please help and thanks in advance. Morrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 If you use the gradient tool, set one of the color's alph channel (on the color palette) to 0, or low. I'm not sure what your asking exactly though.

morrey Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Normally I print things on an inkjet and just go borderless. For production purposes I am using a high end color laser but am finding out that the paper feeder on a laser if different and you can not do borderless prints. So instead of having a hard edge for my borders I was hoping to be able to feather them out by using a gradiant tool. Unfortunetly, I haven't managed to figure out how to use the gradiant tool or know if it is even possible to have the image and the gradiant tool work together.

usedHONDA Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I created a screenshot that should (hopefully) be self-explanatory. Just examine the windows open and the setting they're on: Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
