I have Photoshop 10 and am trying to fade a picture so that I can use it as a background in a photo book. Nothing that I have tired works. Can someone help me step by step? thanks so much!

I have Photoshop 10 and am trying to fade a picture so that I can use it as a background in a photo book.

By "fade", do you mean that wish to create a vignette? If so, please advise.

One simple way: open your image, go to the Layers panel (double click on the Layer in the layers panel if it's a Background layer to make it a normal layer), then use the Opacity slider to reduce the opacity, then Save As (make sure you give the file a different file name so you don't overwrite your original image). You can use the drop down Format menu to select the format, such a JPG.

It is Photoshop Elements 10. I did do what Derek Cross suggested but it puts some sort of a pattern on it. I"m not sure why. thanks for the advice.

Hi

I've moved your post to the Photoshop Elements forum where you are more likely to get responses applicable to your version of Photoshop

Do you mean Photoshop CS3 (which was Photoshop version 10.0) or Photoshop Elements 10?
