Are you new to photoshop and cant figure out how to fade a simple blog? well i made a tutorial on it cuzz i couldnt find one myself cuzz when i made the "Grungy Starz" Layout i had no clue what i was doing and i experimented and i remembered how i would fade on psp and finally i figured it out. But enough about me, here's the tutorial for ya. . .

First Start Off By clicking The Rectangle tool. (to pick another shape click the rectangle tool and hold it down and pick from one of the shapes.) Note: Make sure you have the color you want your blog to be faded as already selected

Ok now that you have done that look over to your Layers area you should see the Shape(s) you drew.

Then Select Fill And set it to your liking. I Usually use 50 but on some images it dont look right.

Note: If you Have more than one shape drawn, then do the same step 'til all of your shapes are faded

After you did all that you should be done
