After opening your image, go to the layers window and double click on the background layer. Another box will ask you to name the layer. You can just leave it as layer 0 and click okay. Then set your opacity. You'll have those little boxes. Go to the layers menu at the top and choose "flatten image." The little boxes will disappear.

Of course, you're prettier and not as silly as this young lady. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4834153 Paul On Aug 26, 2006, at 8:44 PM, Sandra Hermann wrote: > I am trying to adjust the opacity on some pictures in adobe photoshop > elements. 3.0.
