Photoshop help...

[Chuck Norris]

Anyone know how to do a horizontal gradient blend in photoshop? I had to blend Chuck into the side of my sig with ugly vertical stripes by hand... help please!

what you can do is select the chuck layer and under the layer pull down, create a layer mask. what it does, is creates an addtional layer to the right of the image in the palate.

the right layer uses black and white as controllers (white allows everything behind it so stays hidden, black makes it show the background) so if you were to use a gray or something you can eleminate the ugly line you're referring to.

check out this site, it'll help w/ some basic stuff:
