WooHoo!!! I used to work on the Photoshop team so I can answer this one easy... You cannot change the opacity of the background. It is always 100%. If you want to have a black background to work on, create a new layer, fill it with black and then put it below the layer you want to work on. When you are done, chuck the black layer. _________________________________________________________ Matt Brown Community Manager Macromedia (650) 481-4525 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-community@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
