Changing Opacity? #1

How do I change opacity in Aperture 3? I know there's an easy way to do this in Lightroom and Photoshop but I'm not sure how to do it in Aperture. Please chime in if you can :)

I'm thinking this can be done using “Curves” but I'm not sure how to achieve it. I'm looking to give my photos more of a “matte” look.

Thanks!

C Lin,

You can’t adjust opacity because there’s nothing underneath it to see; there are no layers in Aperture.

However if it’s a “matte” look you’re trying to achieve, do this to a curve and see if it gets what you want: [screenshot]

Add a little curve in there, too.
