Problems with gradients - 07-04-2006, 02:03 AM


After like 3 freaking hours I'm still stumped, I was trying to apply multiple gradients to an image from each corner going in. Basically, I was trying to create a vignette effect using gradients. I've done it in a class before when the instructor walked us through it, but of course I dont remember exactly how it was done then, just that involved the quick mask and the gradient tool. However, I can NOT figure out how to apply multiple gradients to the same layer. It's really quite infuriating, does anyone have any suggestions?

Instead of using the black-to-white gradient, select the black-to-transparent one.

Great, I'll give it a shot when I get up! My eyes are fried for the night, I'm trying to start going to bed earlier

Yep - the fade to transparant one is the way to go.

There is also a square one you can use.
