Photoshop Tips: Opacity

Some of our features, like Email Photo, Fan Wall, and Voice Recording, require background images with a certain level of opacity in order for the text to be easily read over the image. This is very easy to design using Photoshop.

How-To:

1. Once you have the image all set up and ready to go in Photoshop, select the opacity meter in the toolbar on the right-hand side.

2. Drag the Opacity level to around 20-40% depending upon how dark your image is. Also, make sure you have a solid white background layer!

3. After you're happy with the way your image looks, go to File-> Save for Web Devices -> Save

This will ensure you save it as a .png file!

That's it! Now just upload the .png file into the Appearance step!
