How do I reduce the opacity of a comp within a comp seamlessly?

Hi, I know this sounds like a very dumb/rookie question but I can't figure it out. I have comp A (imported from PS) that's a rectangle background with text & lines above it - which is inside comp B.
While on B I'm reducing the opacity of A from 100 to 0, normally over 10 frames, and the text and lines' opacity goes down normally... except the rectangle background! It's opacity is staying the same during the first 9 frames and then going from 100 to 0 in the last one.
As an experiment I replaced that PS layer with a solid from AE and it works fine. The whole comp's opacity reduced gradually from 100 to 0 over 10 frames.
What causes some layers to behave as described above?

There must be some kind of layer style or other thing going on with your Photoshop comp. We need to see a screenshot.
If all else fails, jut pre-compose the problem comp again and do not collapse transformations.
We need to see a screenshot with properties revealed for the problematic layer.

  • How can i reduce the saturation of a image to make it almost transparent ?

    how can i reduce the saturation of a image to make it almost transparent ?

    You're talking about two different things:
    "Saturation" means the amount of colour, so you would use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to lower the saturation to make the image (or layer) appear more "black and white".
    "Transparency" is set by reducing the value of the "Opacity" in the Layers panel.  If that Opacity adjustment isn't available for the layer you want to make more transparent, first double-click on the layer to change it from a "Background" layer to a regular layer.

  • How do I reduce the size of photos to use on website?

    Thanks to the helpful person who recommended I use Rapidweaver to build a website, I am slowly getting somewhere. It is so simple and just like Apple applications that I think I can do this.
    My problem now is that when I tried to transfer a photo from iPhoto to the draft website page it comes across so large it fills the page.
    How do I reduce the size of photos so that I can bring them across? I need to show about 20 photos on the web pages. Do they need to be in a different format and if so how do I change it to the appropriate one?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Casuarina,
    Go to this site and click on the Desktop Version Quicktime movie for a small tutorial. It will explain everything to you and you can see how you resize right within Rapid Weaver. It's really quite nifty.

  • How can I reduce the brightness of my screen?

    I installed WIndows 7 on my MAC and after installing the boot camp drivers, the screen went really bright.
    I reduced the brightness to the lowest setting on my keyboard, but it is still bright.
    The problem is not so much on the graphics, its more on the brightness of the white background & black text.

    How can I reduce the brightness?
    Start menu > control panel > appearance & personalization > display > calibrate color
    I would adjust the keyboard setting back to midway before calibrating, this way you have some flexibility to use that again.

  • How can I reduce the selection for the characteristics value in a BW query

    Good morning,
    I need to find out how I can reduce the selection for the characteristics values in a BW query.
    In a BW query I have a characteristic "Due month".
    The characteristic values shown in the query are from 01.2001->03.2007. I would like to reduce it to the last 2 years,in the query view,  without deleting the data for the other years in the cube.
    Do you know how this can be done?
    Thank you in advance for your feedback.
    Kind regards,
    Linda Verding

    hi,
    First thing you have to do is check the report how the data is being restricted only to those months.
    1) one it can be variable in which the code is written for that to populate for last few years.
    or else it must have been hardcoded for these months.
    Go into your report and underneath the characteristicsCALMONTH there must be an variable or hardcoding.
    You need to change this here in the report.
    You dont have to delete anything there.
    Regards, Siva

  • How do I reduce the size of a graphic in Preview and maintain resolution?

    Preview 6.0.1
    Hi,
    I have a graphic in Preview. The largest file is a .jpg at 77 KB. Information about the graphic is in the attached "Adjust Size ScreenPreview Galleon 77.
    I find that when I reduce the size of the file using Previews menu bar functions that I usually use — Screenshot>Zoom reduce>Select the smaller picture>Screenshot — that the result is an image that has lost the focus, the resolution of the original graphic.
    How do I reduce the size of a graphic and maintain resolution? I've never used the Adjust Size Screen functions.
    I'm not stuck on having to use Preview to accomplish this, but I do use Preview a lot.
    Thanks,

    Choose a smaller width, the height will adjust appropriately, and the resolution will stay the same.

  • How do I reduce the size of an AI CS6 file when saving as a pdf?

    I'm trying to save an ai file to a PDF to send to the printer but the file is huge. How can I reduce the size without losing quality? I have already rasterized my images and flattened the artwork. Thanks!

    How huge is huge?  Are all of the images Placed at 100% or have they been scaled?  What are the printer's requirements?  What are the physical dimensions of the file?  And, how are you creating the PDF?  There are a few ways to minimize size, starting with the file itself and the printer's requirements.  I find, sometimes, Exporting > TIFF > Open in Ps > Save As Photoshop PDF is helpful.  I also use Distiller which trims files nicely and is customizable.

    What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

    How do I reduce the size of photo in iPhoto?  The size of my imported photos from my camera are 2 - 3 MB and for my purpose I need 200 - 400 KB.   Scanned copies of older photographs with a size of 100 to 500 KB work very well.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    File -> Export and make your choices in the Export dialogue.
    Jpeg Quality and Size will have most effect on file size. Note that 'Size' refers to the pixel dimensions of the photo.

  • Why is my word and pdf files so large? How can I reduce the size?

    My document contains mostly photos from a database via a path to the actual jpeg photos on disk.
    There are 39 jpeg photos + a small amount of text with each photo.
    The 39 jpeg photos on the disk add up to be 5.79 mb.
    If I export the crystal reports document as [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Non Editable] the, the file size is 36.8 mb.
    If I export the same data as a [Microsoft Word (97-2003) Editable] the file size is only 3.1 mb.
    That is a difference of 33.7 mb! Why?
    Also, when I export the same data to a PDF file it is much larger than I think it should be; 12.7 mb.
    Why is my word and PDF files so large?
    How can I reduce the size of the word and PDF files? (without reducing the photo quality).
    Are there any tools to post process the Word or PDF files to reduce the file size?

    You can't, extra size is to hold the details
