Photoshop Gradient Problems

All of a sudden, whenever I try to use a gradient in a mask, it does not completely remove the "black" area in the mask. Even when I use a brush or fill the mask black, there is still a faint image left. Has anyone had this problem? I can not figure it out.

Hmm .. I don't know. I know that when selecting then deleting dark on a white canvas, I sometimes have to delete 2 and even 3 times sometimes, and I never have figured that out ... I wonder if they're somehow related.

LOL

"If you're working in the background or in a layer with transparency locked, the pixels change to the background color; otherwise, the pixels are erased to transparency."

Are there any transparency boxes checked or transparencies locked?

Are whites and blacks pure?

I don't know ..

.. is this anything? Are you using Quick Mask? And are you using a selection? (Or maybe they're talking about a selected area of the layer, selected in the layers palette .. not sure. I'm not very familiar with masking.)

To change the Quick Mask options:
Double-click the Quick Mask mode button in the toolbox.
Choose from the following display options:
Masked Areas to have masked areas appear black (opaque) and to have selected areas appear white (transparent). Painting with black increases the masked area; painting with white increases the selected area.

With this option, the Quick Mask button in the toolbox appears as a white circle on a gray background .
Selected Areas to have masked areas appear white (transparent) and to have selected areas appear black (opaque). Painting with white increases the masked area; painting with black increases the selected area.

With this option, the Quick Mask button in the toolbox appears as a gray circle on a white background.


I think that when you check that "preserve transparency" box, it preserves the transparent pixels of the layer beneath the one that you're editing.

All I am trying to do is fade an image. You click on the image, and then click on the layer mask button. Then I use the gradient tool and make a gradient on the image. All of it does not fade (when it normally does). Then, if I try to fill the whole mask with black (to make the image disappear to test), it is still there, but at a lower opacity. I checked all of the options (opacity of the gradient, etc.) but I can't figure it out.
