Hello!

I hope this is the right way to ask something.

Ok, so I wanted to edit a map which consisted basically in creating paths and then painting them with an opacity of 60 so one is still able to see the streets in the map behind the paths.

The problem is I just realised some paths are painted with an opacity of 60 but others are painted with an opacity of 100, which means some are more "transparent" than others.

Does anyone know how can I re-paint these paths so I can now paint them with an opacity of 60 instead of 100?

I've been trying for about half an hour and can't find the way, so if anyone knows please please let me know how to do it.

Thanks in advance :)

Hopefully you added a new layer,
then stroked the paths on this new layer,
above you main image.

If so,
it's only a mater of clearing the strokes from this layer,
then stroking the paths once again with the desired opacity.

You can also use Undo,
to go back before the paths were stroked.
Then once again stroking the path with the wanted opacity.
