Can someone tell me how the partial transparent band for the name is done? I saw it while surfing from a Justin Timberlake forum: http://www.lime-light.org/xmb/faq.php?page=forumrules Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what way is the proper way but I sort of made up my own way lmao...

Just use the retangular marquee tool and then select the area you want to make lighter...go to brushes....right click make the brush a larger size put the opacity to 30 and just swipe it accross the selected area in one go....

It's wrong but it works...for me.

clouds421, you add a layer, type the text &/or insert image, then play around with the OPACITY of that layer.
