gradient editor doesn't like me.

[darkvampire]

I have PS CS4 Extended and Vista. I am having problems with Gradient Editor. When I create a gradient and use the opacity stops they make the gradient bar transparent in the required parts, but it has no effect whatsoever on the image, nor on the bar in the adjustments panel. I feel there is some obvious solution, but it escapes me. Also, when I click on a preset like "foreground to tranparency", my image goes completely black..again, no transparency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, but I have found out the answer to the problem ( after several hours of searching). I neglected to mention that this prob only occurs in Gradient Map, not in Grad tool or Grad overlay. Apparently, transparency doesn't work in Grad Map, and never has...no-one seems to know why. Why then is it not invisible or greyed out???? Any one know the answer to this?
