Issue description
Naming a parameter of an object "amount" in the parameters window is as generic as naming it "number" or "value". The "amount" parameter actually controls the opacity of the object so why not call it "opacity"?

There are at least two exceptions: scale & rotate layers use same "amount" parameter not for opacity. Other than that, i think it's a good idea.
