How can I fade an image to a color in photoshop? I have tried to find information on how to do this but to no avail.

There's no problem so large it can't be solved by killing the user off, deleting their files, closing their account and reporting their REAL earnings to the IRS.

Select your colour as a foreground or background colour. Then create a new document, and use the foreground or background colour as the paper. Now create a new layer, and put your image on this new layer, or copy an image, and it will go on a new layer. Select the layer with your image on it, now click the 'f' on the bottom of the layer options to create a filter. You want to create an inner glow. The colour of the inner glow should be the same colour as your paper colour. Now slide the sliders until you have a nice fade that matches the fade that you want.

theres quite a few ways to do it.


create two layers

place the image on the bottom layer.

on the top layer create a gradient with the tool under the paint bucket tool, not under it as in vertical but the alternative tool using the small arrow in the bucket box tool panel.

(hold the left mouse and choose the gradient tool.)

left click and drag in your image to apply the gradient.

you could also use an airbrush for a blob or a shape if you wanted in this part.

you could also stroke a path with an airbrsuh at this point also.

the real trick to this is the next part by changing the top layers properties.

on the top layer change its usage to "multiply" instead of "normal" in the layer properties.

you could also do it using compound layer masks but the above technique is just one way that can make it happen.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

My preferred method is:

From the menu bar select Layer > Add Layer Mask > Reveal All
Then using the default colours (black/white) select the gradient tool and draw a gradient fill.

Now your layer will fade to transparent thus fading into whatever is on the layer beneath. In you case you want it to fade into a solid colour, so, select the layer beneath and and simply fill it with whatever colour you want to fade into.

Tada!
