How Do I Make a Selection Transparent in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 4:20 pm

There are a few different ways that you can make a selection transparent in Photoshop. One way is to use the eraser tool. With the eraser selected, simply click and drag over the area that you want to make transparent. Another way is to use the opacity option in the layers panel.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that when you make a selection transparent in Photoshop, it will also affect any other layers that are beneath it. If you do not want this to happen, please make sure to create a new layer for your transparency.

Simply select the layer that you want to make transparent and lower the opacity until it is at the desired transparency level. You can also use the fill option in the layers panel to fill a layer with transparency. Simply select the layer that you want to make transparent and click on the fill option. In the fill dialog box, select “transparency” from the drop down menu.
