Hi Guys n Girls

My first time in Photoshop forum. Hoping someone can help me with something that is probablly really simple.

I have a TIFF image exported from Poser.  I want it to fade out from fully colour to greyscale, side to side.  I know its probably something very easy. I am using PS CS3.

I got as far as duplicating the background layer which is the original picture, and turning that to greyscale. Now I"m guessing i need some sort of gradient.. but ..... I dont know how .... and i swear i am NOT blonde guys:)

Anyone help?

Hi drky As usual with photoshop, there are several methods but I think the simplest is using a layer mask. (This method is also non-destructive.) select your top layer and click on the 'create layer mask' in the layers pallette. then in the gradient fills choose a simple black to white (NOT the black to transparent). draw your gradient left to right (or vice versa) on the image and it should go into the layer mask you just created. You can redraw the gradient as many times as you like till you get the effect you want.
