I'm trying to fade an image into a background, but whenever I put the gradient onto the layer mask, nothing happens. I then tested the gradient directly on the image, and it did this:
I'm not the most knowledgable in photoshop, but I believe it's supposed to change all the pixels on a layer when the gradient is used. That obviously didn't happen, and I'm not entirely sure on why.
Can you post a screen shot of what's going on with the mask? Your shot without the mask looks like you have a gradient of white to transparent, as you're seeing part of the image. So if you have white to transparent on a white mask, it's not going to do anything. You need white to black.
I have the white to black gradient selected, but it doesn't appear on the mask. The mask is obviously present since I was able to draw on the right portion of the photo, but the gradient doesn't appear. As far as I'm aware, the other screenshot was done witht the white to black gradient as well, but I may be wrong on that.
