In this tutorial, let us understand what Opacity is as we will be using it quite often to understand\u00a0 other available adjustment layers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The literal definition of the word Opacity is \u201cthe quality of lacking transparency or translucence\u201d and it has the exact same function in Photoshop as well. Opacity defines that how transparent the currently selected layer would be, or in other words, how much would it allow other layers below it to show through. Let us understand with the help of an example. I have the following image open in Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-opacity\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1642\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1642\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-1.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-photoshop-opacity-1\" width=\"700\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-1-83x55.jpg 83w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-1-75x50.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let us not do something very complicated here and add a very simple effect so that we can understand what Opacity actually does. Let us say that I want to add some text over this image. In order to do that, I will select the Horizontal Type Tool from Tools Panel. There are three other tools nested in the same area so if some other tool is reflecting in the Tools Panel, left click and hold for a second for a fly menu to appear and select the Horizontal Type Tool. Alternatively, you can also right click on the group for the fly menu to appear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-opacity\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1643\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1643\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-2.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-photoshop-opacity-2\" width=\"241\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-2.jpg 241w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-2-62x55.jpg 62w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before we add text to our image, let us first define the font, font color and size.

You may need to adjust the font size according to the size of your image and alignment of text according to your preference. Play around with the font options until you come up with a setting you like. The last black box in the image above is where you can select the font color from. After selecting the font, font style, size and alignment, click on the font color box once. This will bring out the color picker box from where we can change the Font color. I will set mine to white.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-opacity\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1646\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1646\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-5.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-photoshop-opacity-5\" width=\"556\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-5.jpg 556w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-5-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-5-96x55.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With these settings in place, let\u2019s add some text to the image.

Once that happens, left click, hold your mouse key down and drag the image to the desired location. Keep in mind though that in order to move the text, the Type tool should still be active means that your cursor should still be blinking indicating that you can still edit the text. If that is not happening, click on the text again and when the cursor starts to blink, move the text field.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After you are done adding and positioning the text, let\u2019s take a look at the Layers Panel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-opacity\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-7\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1648\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1648\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-7.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-photoshop-opacity-7\" width=\"256\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-7.jpg 256w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-7-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-7-37x55.jpg 37w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our layers panel indicates two layers. One is our background image and the other one is the text we just typed on. Photoshop automatically renamed the second layer to what our text on the image reads. Let us see what \u201cOpacity\u201d can do here for us. Click on the dropdown arrow next to the percentage field and a slider will appear. Initially the small pointer on the slider would show at the extreme right and the percentage field would 100%. This means that our text layer currently has no transparency. Click on the pointer and drag it towards the left on the slider.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-solid-color-adjustment-layer\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-15\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1627\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1627\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-15.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-15\" width=\"256\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-15.jpg 256w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-15-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-15-38x55.jpg 38w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As you move the slider to the left, the percentage will start to reduce and at the same time, the text we just added in solid white color will start to become transparent. The more you drag the pointer to the left, more transparent it will become and our background image will start to become visible through the text.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-opacity\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-8\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1649\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1649\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-8.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-photoshop-opacity-8\" width=\"700\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-8.jpg 700w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-8-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-photoshop-opacity-8-85x55.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another way to change the opacity is to directly click in the percentage field to make it editable and then type in the percentage manually.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/photoshop-basics-solid-color-adjustment-layer\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-14\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1626\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1626\" src=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-14.jpg\" alt=\"understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-14\" width=\"262\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-14.jpg 262w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-14-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/understanding-solid-color-adjustment-layer-14-38x55.jpg 38w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is what Opacity is all about. When you make a layer active by clicking on it and reduce its opacity, it starts to become transparent to make the layer beneath it more visible. This was a very simple beginner level example to make you understand what kind of impact can Opacity have on our images. In coming tutorials, as we understand other functions of Photoshop, we will explore and learn more about Opacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our last tutorial, we had our first use of the \u201cOpacity\u201d function available in the Layers Panel while working with the Solid Color adjustment layer.
