Thought it was just me! It was very coincidental my internet went out for a moment right before this.

What is the best way to get an even gradient for the cutoff mask so I can make a pretty accurate progress bar? I had used animated textures before and they always seem extremely buggy and was suggested to use this instead... Photoshop is not giving an even gradient to use the alpha cutoff, as you can see in the photo the 127 cutoff value is not 50% of the alpha mask, or at 50% in the green.
