I have finally found out how it works. It seems that I have to select something with another tool before using it.

Look it up in the manual. I don’t think you get it yet.

I looked it up in the help index of photoshop and it is not really clear but by playing with it I seem to see what it is doing but maybe I am all wrong…

Richard,

Some learn most easily from reading, while others, more from doing. Some lucky folk can marry the two learning styles quite nicely. Because of the myriad of uses, the Gradient is a wonderful tool. It can help to create a gorgeous sky, where only a bland one existed. It can help you to apply an effect in varying degrees through a mask to which it has been added. It can create a graduated background on which to place a product that has been knocked out of its original plain background.

Several good books that take Photoshop from the library into the real world are full of examples of its use. The Adobe Photoshop Classroom in a Book, is a good starter. I don’t have a count (and the CS ver might have more or fewer), but I’d guess that the Gradient Tool is used differently in about five cases, throughout the book.

Explore and imagine. It is a wonderful tool to have in your program.

It makes gradients. A gradient is a smooth blend of colors.

The simplest way to see what it does is to set the foreground color to red, the background color to blue, and drag it across an image. The image will be filled with a smooth blend of color from red to blue.

If the foreground and background colors are the same, it does not do much of anything (at least at its default setting–it can also create fixed-color gradients that don’t use the foreground and background colors).
