    [3D] opacity map with unlit?

    I handpaint textures for 3D characters, and I'd like to know if there's a way to work with an opacity map in unlit settings, since unlit seems to ignore that completely.

    Brush opacity and feathering algorithms - just a discussion.

    Opacity is 'fill' level for brush. So a brush at 100% opacity will 'fill' at 100%. So why then, does it take three brush strokes to reach maximum fill at 50% opacity (when logic says it should take 2), and seven brush strokes to reach maximum fill at 25% opacity (when it should take 4)...

    Quick Mask Opacity

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and anytime I use Quick Mask when doing a selection the red color has a very low opacity compared to the same on my iMac 21". It might be something simple, but I haven't been able to increase the opacity. I've included two screen shots, one form the laptop...

    Masking problem

    I'm having a really weird Photoshop problem, wondering if anyone has experienced this and can tell me what's going on. Masking is not completely masking. When I go to the layer mask (not vector) and paint with a black brush, the pixels are not entirely going away. In other words, it looks like...

    I am trying to create a scenario where water pours over a cliff (the cliff is a straight horizontal cliff across). The water has to have a real photo effect of a waterfall but not as dense as I am trying to focus on showing more of the cliff more than the water. I have tried opacity and masked...

    "Baking" opacity to semi-transparent layer.

    Hey! I have a layer that varies in opacity (from 0% to semi-opaque to 100% opaque). Colour from the layer behind is showing through and blending with the semi-opaque layer. Can I bake that blend that results from the two layers, so that it is baked onto the foremost layer? This will be a...
