Layer effects and Photoshop gradients

Use edged gradients in gradient overlay, layer effects, glow, stroke settings. The gradients are accessed via the photoshop gradients examplegradient dropdown in the individual layer panels. The gradient type can be changed from linear to radial etc. The gradient can be scaled and rotated. Gradients and the layer effects created can be saved as a preset style for future use. photoshop gradients example

 

Gradient overlays

Apply the colorful gradient to an image using a opacity of less than 100%. Many of the gradients in the various collections also come with their own transparency information to allow for more or less of the image to be displayed. This transparency can be further modified by clicking on the gradient and changing the transparency stop settings. Gradients can be applied in multiple directions using the gradient tool. The transparency information can be removed all together by setting the transparency check to off (along the gradient bar of Photoshop ® )

 

Combine gradients

Combine gradients over multiple layers / applies using different blending modes such as 'multiply' 'difference'

 

3D and gradients

Gradients are great for 3D like operations, creating hi-impact designs such as columns and spheres in seconds. Repeat apply to create a background of spheres or bubbles.

Gradients apply modes

Apply Photoshop gradients as radial / mirror / angle / reflected / linear - gradients can be many modes. The gradients can be re-applied using the radial / mirror etc in any combinations to create stunning and surreal gradient effects

 

Edged Gradients and masks

Use gradients as selection masksphotoshop gradients example

 

Gradients and channels

Use gradients across color channels. Use the gradient in red and then green and then blue

 

Photoshop gradients and scripts

Use gradients in scripts and actions

 

Gradients and text fills

Use gradients in text fills

 

Gradients and Photoshop layers

Select an area (or use the selected text) or use the shape tool in path mode and create a selection. Fill the selection with the gradient and cut and paste the layer in different locations across the image to create a nozzle like effect in Photoshop. Create complex as well as subtle designs in seconds. Use in combo with scripting or actions. Apply effects, interweave effects and flatten and much more to create surreal image effects

 

16bit gradients and Photoshop edged gradients

Use gradients in 16bit color

 

Gradients and pattern sources

Use gradients as pattern source. Apply the gradient designs and then use the edit > define pattern command. You can use the gradient in a document 3000 x 3000 or if you wish to create a tile use something like tilemaker or terrazzo.

Gradients and distortions

Gradients as displacement maps, save the gradient filled document to PSD format and use the gradient in glass filters or displace filters

 

Gradients and brush source

Use as a source for brush strokes

 

Lens

Use edge gradients in lens distortion for surreal color effects

 

Gradients and document modes

Use in LAB CMYK mode in Photoshop.

 

Gradients and layers / brushes

Use gradients on a layer with brushes

 

Impressionist Photoshop gradients

Use as art history source for impressionist gradientsphotoshop gradients example

 

Selections

Use gradients in selections

 

Perspective and edged gradients

Use gradients in Perspective tool for nozzle like imagery

 

Effects and gradients

Apply effects to gradients to create stunning blurred gradient effects, stained glass gradients, smeared gradients and many more

photoshop gradients example

Re-apply gradients

Re-apply gradients using different blending mode such as difference to create surreal color effects. Also use fade command to apply using fade blend modes

 

Frames and Photoshop gradients

Use the gradients for frames / border effects. Use a selection and fill with a gradient.

 

Gradients in fills

Select the gradient tool (press key G) and apply by dragging the gradient across the document. Modify the angle and length of the application. Depending on the gradient, multiple gradients can be applied. Use with blending modes as well (and also fade command)

 

Fill gradient layer content

Use in new layer gradient content. The layer can be modified by the gradient settings such as style (linear, radial etc) and scale and reverse and dither photoshop gradients example

 

Gradient maps

The edge gradient can be used to create stunning color effects to any image or text via the gradient maps function

 

Gradients and shapes

Apply to a shape layer and then duplicate. Use the lock transparent pixel option in the layers palette to apply a gradient only to a shape and not to the unmodified part of the layer.

 

Install gradients

Gradients can be added to the gradients palette via the load / replace functionality. Generally, place the gradients GRD files in the presets gradients folder.

 

Edit gradients

Double click on the gradient in the gradient palette to edit the gradient and save your own unique gradient.
