I need help in fading a color in Adobe.

I have two images. One I need to be vibrant and the other I need faded out. Have posted two examples below.

Not crazy about the effect, but if that’s what you need, try lowering the contrast.

You can put it as a low-opacity layer on a white background layer.

The white numeral in his fade example was darkened though. I don’t like it, just plain muddy looking, but to do it I still think -contrast is the answer. He might be having to match previously stuff done by someone else:\

Thanks for the response, the contrast method provides the look I am looking for. Unfortunately, it only let’s me apply this feature once I save the file as a .jpg or .gif. It will not apply the contrast adjustment when I am working on the .psd file.

And when I apply it to the .jpg or .gif file it makes the white background an offwhite. I need the background to be transparent. I am still learning Photoshop and this is probably something stupid on my part.

Thanks for all the good advice.

I’m assuming you’re trying to apply it to a psd with more than 1 layer and effect. Go to the top most layer, select and "copy merged"; paste this to a new layer or new image file, then apply the -contrast and save.
