FW CS3: Gradient opacity failureThis is a discussion on FW CS3: Gradient opacity failure within the Macromedia Fireworks forums in Adobe Tools category; I'm running into an issue and not sure if it is related to Live filters or what. I used a default STYLE gradient on a rectangle. The 14th default style of a light blue to dark blue linear gradient. I thought the transition was too harsh so I wanted to edit the gradient, which I can do by moving the colors around on the line, but actually the "colors" are all grays in the the paint bucket fill icon.

Any ideas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jefferis Peterson, Pres. Web Design and Marketing http://www.PetersonSales.com  |

| Re: FW CS3: Gradient opacity failure Hmm. The color of the style isn't set in the gradient, it's set in the Hue/Saturation filter. But...I see what you mean. When you try to set an opacity gradient above the color gradient, some of the color on the the rectangle disappears. I found that the Photoshop Live Effects filter on this style is setting a black line at 18% opacity and that overrides the gradient opacity. If you delete or uncheck this filter then your opacity gradient should work okay. Seems to for me, anyway. |
