    At 1:39 he says if you double-click on the bar it'll open a color picker box... that does not happen when I double-click. Nothing happens or opens.

    Thank so much! Creating a gradient inside a shape was exactly what I was looking for to mimic the way I use gradients in Canva! No one else covers this! Question: when I try to turn the shape with the gradient around, the colour doesn't follow and stays at the bottom. Is there a way to modify the layer/shape so that the the colour stays put?

    Can I have a bit of help please? When double clicking that box at the start to edit the gradient, I don't have a popout or a page that allows me to edit the gradient. 2015 iMac Latest PhotoShop.

      Me too! Did you get an answer?

    • @smileywarhead5178
      @smileywarhead5178 7 місяців тому

      I got a halfway solution: you can modify all existing presets by double clicking the colored dots that appear when you place the gradient, and then save it as a new preset.
      This doesn't solve wanting to have more control however

    • @BrendanWilliamsTutorials
      @BrendanWilliamsTutorials  6 місяців тому

      In the newest version you need to set the mode to Classic Gradient (top corner of options bar while gradient tool is active) to see what I see in this video.

    This moves me forward, but I remain confused as to how to negotiate between layers. When I am dealing with gradient PLUS the image that I am trying to effect, it gets more confusing. Not sure how to integrate the two and not simply cover the image/subject with a layer of colors that completely covers the image I am trying to treat.

  • @duanecalhoon3322

    How would you use a radial gradient to soften the edges around a picture? Kind of like a cloud effect

    • @DalsPhotography

      I wonder just the same Duane!! Lets hope he can answer us both!

    • @BrendanWilliamsTutorials
      @BrendanWilliamsTutorials  2 роки тому +1

      Choose a foreground to transparent gradient and set the type to radial gradient. Add a layer mask to your image layer and set your foreground color to black. Now click and drag out around the edges of your image to mask out and soften the edges with the gradient. Another option is to use the same gradient, but press Command/control + I on the layer mask to invert it and hide your image completely. Then set the foreground color to white and click and drag over your image to add back your photo in gradient form! Hope that helps.

      (in case you don't get notified of the first comment, here it is again Daniela) - Choose a foreground to transparent gradient and set the type to radial gradient.
