This might be a stupid question, but im still pretty new. How can i make a grid in Photoshop that smoothly fades to transparent, something like the top picture here http://www.phong.com/tutorials/grid/
Any help is much appreciated, thanks
Well they teach you how to make the grid in the tutorial, so do that:)
Then the next step would be to use the marquee tool and select the part you want to fade out, then go to Select/Feather (I believe that is it) the select the amount. Then hit delete the selection. This will cause some fading.
I hope this helps, this is a very basic form, but it works:)
Awesome, it worked great…god this forum is great. w00t 
Glad I could help=)
Actually lost, that’s not a basic form, i do it all the time!! 
It’s the easiest way really. The gradient tool sometimes gives you weird colors when fading to tranparent…
Nice one lost!
Thanks I while back I wrote an Action that produced the effect because I used to use the fade out effect a lot, but my Photoshop got screwed up somehow and I had to remove it. So I don’t have that Action anymore:(
Maybe I should remake it, I don’t know, I don’t use the effect as much anymore. I think I could just do it by hand.
I don’t use actions… I’d rather have the procedures in my head.
Although I LOVE styles…
I don’t use Actions unless I write them myself. Sometimes I don’t feel like doing effects over and over so I write the action and use that.
Styles are great and you can come up with some really nice effects with them… like in my phio miral wallpaper right eilsoe:)
Yep!!
About that, I wanted to place something on the left side… just dunno what, and i changed yer bubbles to an aqua style instead, with a “big” color dodged glow…
looks weird…
Weird is cool in my book =)
yeah, check my post “What grids can look like” in the “Drawing and design” threads…
THAT looks weird… notice how the grid pattern fits perfectly with a mosaic render…!
I replied to that thread
did ya…?
Hmm, must check it then…
You checked it… now I am just spamming
