Maby try to use the ereaser tool with soft brush and opacity. maby opacity 15 and I allways use 40 on flow.

Seems to me the gradient is the way to go.

Pen tool to make the little squares, custom shape tool to make the triangles, gradient over the top from white to the background color.

Good luck.

Eraser? That's the crappy slow bad way to do it... lol.

Now, combining the eraser with the select tool and the feather tool... THAT's how you get the best results in the easiest way

Completely smooth transitions of opacity.

Thanks for the idea about the feathered selection and eraser! The ability to combine things is PSCS2 always keeps surprising me - though by this time I should be used to it.

nah... best way for smooth opacity is a layer mask and a black to clear gradient
