Hi all. There are mountains of free tutorials on the net I know, but this one is taking too long to sort out. Here’s the question: I open an image….trace around the the part I want to isolate using the magic lassoo….select/inverse. I can then fill the background with a colour or whatever. What I want to do is fill the background with a gradient. Is there a quick way to do this? (yes..I’ll continue to search the net for a method) Many thanks,
Paul

Please ignore this post…I figured it out. I had the gradient setting on ‘dodge’ instead of ‘normal"…that’s why it didn’t work!
