I’ve got two background color swatches that I’ve inserted into PS file (in different layers). I’m simulating a night sky at dusk. One color is black with stars, the other is pinkish. I’d like to do a gradient where the sky goes from black at the top to pinkish at the bottom.

Is the best way to tackle this by blending a layer or adding a fill and adjustment layer? I’ve been experimenting with the gradient tool, but don’t have the control I want as far as where the color transitions from black to pink.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

I’d do it with a layer mask

You should be able to create your own gradient exactly as you envision it using the create new gradient choices. you could create an infinite variety of simulated skies.

Building on Donald R. : take some time to become familiar with the Gradient palette. You’ll probably use it a lot.
