How do I change the opacity of a layer in Procreate?

Published in Procreate Layers 2 mins read

You can easily adjust the opacity of a layer in Procreate through the Layers panel.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Open the Layers Panel: Locate and tap the Layers icon, which typically appears as two stacked squares, usually in the upper-right corner of the Procreate interface. This will open the Layers panel.

  2. Select the Desired Layer: Tap on the layer you want to adjust. The selected layer will be highlighted.

  3. Access Layer Options: Tap the "N" (which stands for "Normal") displayed next to the layer's name in the Layers panel. This action will reveal the layer's blending mode options and the opacity slider.

  4. Adjust the Opacity: At the top of the blending mode options, you'll find the Opacity slider. Tap and drag the slider to the left to decrease the layer's opacity, making it more transparent. Dragging the slider to the right increases the opacity, making it more opaque.

  5. Observe Changes: As you adjust the opacity slider, the changes will be reflected in your artwork in real-time, allowing you to fine-tune the transparency to your liking.

By adjusting the opacity, you can create subtle effects, blend layers seamlessly, and add depth to your artwork.
