A new opacity tag is added to the gradient.
Until the value is adjusted, the gradient opacity is 100 percent.
To change the opacity of a gradient color:
1 In the opacity bar of the Gradient Editor, click an opacity tag.
The Opacity controls are enabled.
2 Use the slider or value slider to change the value of the opacity.
The lower the percentage of the opacity, the greater the transparency. The gradient
opacity is applied to the area of a gradient, not to a specific color tag.
The gradient transparency reflects the new opacity values. In the following image,
Opacity is set to 0 percent at the right side of the gradient (the light pink color), so the
color fades out.
The controls to move, change the spread, or remove an opacity tag are the same as
those of the color tags.
