Main > Designer > Difference between fill and opacity Difference between fill and opacity Page 1 of 1 in Photoshop CS4 / CS3 / all the way back to like version 7 - what is the difference between fill and opacity?! #1 Posts: 5 | Reputation: 5 | Posted 23/4/2009, 1:38am Opacity will affect the translucency of a layer INCLUDING the layer styles Fill will affect the translucency of only whats in the layer. For example, if you wanted to make a shadow outline of an object, but also wanted to hide the object (know as a Knockout shadow) you would add a drop shadow and set the fill to zero Hope this helps. #2 Posts: 25 | Reputation: 1373 | Posted 23/4/2009, 1:42am Marvelous.
