Neutral Density w/ PhotoShop CS2 & Scott Kelby's book - 02-22-2006, 04:38 AM


I'm having trouble making detail adjustments for my neutral density effect.

I'm using the technique in Scott Kelby's book for CS2 beginning on page 341. When I get to Step Five I can not bring up the Gradient Editor to adjust where the gradient fill begins. He states "...just click once on the Gradient thumbnail at the top of the dialog. This brings up the Gradient Editor." Well, when I click once on the Gradient adjustment layer it does nothing (I'm using a PC). I wonder if it only works with Macs? I can double click and bring up the Gradient fill dialog, but that won't allow you to adjust where the gradient begins - on the Does anyone know how to get to the Gradient Editor using a PC? I searched Adobe help for Gradient Editor and it told me all about it, but didn't tell me where it was.

I'm not sure but maybe the Gradient thumbnail appears on the Photoshop Toolbar when you click the gradient adjustment layer. I'll try looking at it tonight and see if I can find it.

Sean, I hope you figured this out but in case you didn't, you double click on the Gradient Adjustment layer to bring up the Gradient Fill dialog box. From that box click once on the actual gradient to the right of the "Gradient:" label to bring up the gradient editor which lets you adjust the gradient.
