Which photoshop filter?

Hi,

I'm taking a class for photoshop 6.0 and I'm wondering which filter should be used for making "see through" translucent type?

You don't want a Filter I think; you want to use the Opacity: slider on your layers palette. You'll find this near the top on the right side of the palette, right across from the Blend Mode setting (you might want to try experimenting with these as well).
Anyway, you can type a numer less than 100 into the Opacity: box or use the slider to lower the opacity of your layer and make your text more transparent.
