Make the solid colour transparent, I should say. Click on the black bar and set the opacity to 0. If that doesn't do the trick go the outside colouring and set the opacity of the solid color there too at 0. Sometimes the outside colouring has another "color"bar somewhere, so check that as well. And if that's not enough maybe it's in the inside colouring. Anyway: check the solid color for it's opacity. Good luck. Yvonne

Hi Craig, Maybe you could attach a file with just the layer you are having trouble with so we could see which of several problems are involved. ~Vivian

Fractals will always amaze me!

  1. Activate the Mask Layer.
  2. On the gradient window make the opacity part active.
  3. In the upper left corner of UF say Gradient > invert.
