Set the Opacity by doing one of the following:. Drag the arrow on the Opacity slider. To adjust the opacity of the endpoint, click the right transparency stop above the gradient bar. Then set the opacity as described in step 3. To adjust the location of the starting or ending opacity, do one of the following:. Drag the corresponding opacity stop to the left or right.
Select the corresponding opacity stop, and enter a value for Location. To adjust the location of the midpoint opacity the point midway between the starting and ending opacities , do one of the following:. Drag the diamond above the gradient bar to the left or right. Select the diamond, and enter a value for Location.
To delete the opacity stop you are editing, click Delete, or drag the stop away from the gradient bar. To add an intermediate opacity, click above the gradient bar to define a new opacity stop.
You can then adjust and move this opacity as you would a starting or ending opacity. To save the gradient to the gradient presets, enter a new name in the Name text box, and then click New. This creates a new gradient preset with the transparency setting you specified.
Click OK to exit the dialog box and select the newly created gradient. Make sure that Transparency is selected in the Tool Options bar. Create a noise gradient. Noise gradients with different noise values. Choose Noise from the Gradient Type menu. Set options for the gradient. Sets the amount of softness in the transition between colors in the pattern. Color Model. Restrict Colors. Add Transparency. The next step is to create a design on your new canvas. For this particular feature, the graphic designer created a triangle shape using the Shape tool.
To use it, scroll to the left-hand side of your screen and click on your Shape tool. In the drop-down box, select the Polygon , change the sides to 3 sides, and design on your canvas. To edit a gradient, you need to make the gradient first. To do that, right-click on the layer, and on the drop-down menu click on Blending Options. After clicking on Blending options, a dialogue box appears with options of Styles. On it thick the Gradient Overlay box.
Once you thick the Gradient overlay box, click on it also; afterward, the dialogue box changes and opens with editing options with relations to the Gradient overlay and it shows a preview of any changes made. On the dialogue box with the editing options, click on the box labeled Gradient, and choices of stored gradient types available on Photoshop appear. Pick the desired gradient type you wish. Click on the Spectrum preset and see how this is set up for a multi-coloured gradient.
As well as colour values you can also set a stop as transparent, click on the Transparent Rainbow preset to see how this is achieved. Now click on one of the stops and you will see two small circles appear either side of it, this is a colour midpoint, by dragging these circles left and right you can alter how much of each colour takes up the space between the stops.
Now try creating your own Gradient, choose the gradient you would like to base your new gradient on and click the New button. You will see a new pre-set appear in the window. Re-name this new gradient. Try defining how each colour gradation progresses by clicking and dragging within the stops at the midpoints. Not bad considering it started off originally as a black to white gradient:.
Not only can we add colors to the gradient, but we can also move them around and even change the order in which they appear. There's a couple of ways to move them. One is to simply click on a color stop and drag it left or right.
Here, I've clicked on the blue stop in the center and I'm dragging it closer to the yellow stop. Just as when we were moving the midpoint icon, the Location value updates as we drag the color stop to show its exact location in percent:.
Another way to move a color is to click on its stop to select it, then enter a value directly into the Location field. I'll click on my yellow stop to select it. I'll drag it all the way over to the right to where the yellow stop was originally, effectively swapping the two colors:. To remove a color from the gradient, click on its color stop to select it, then drag down and away from the gradient until the stop disappears. I'll remove my blue color by clicking on its stop to select it:.
I'll drag it down and away from the gradient, and here we see that the blue color is now gone, leaving me with just my red and yellow colors. Another way to add a color to a gradient is to make a copy of an existing color. Rather than moving the original stop, you'll drag out a copy of the stop that you can then position anywhere you need along the gradient.
Let's say what I really want is a gradient that goes from red to yellow and then back to red. I already have the red I need over on the left. I'll then drag the copy all the way over to the far right, creating my red to yellow to red gradient:.
If you look directly above the gradient bar, you'll see what looks like additional color stops. These are actually transparency stops. They allow us to adjust the transparency of different parts of the gradient. Here, we see one transparency stop at either end:. This enables the transparency options in the Stops section below the gradient. To add transparency, I'll click on the arrow to the right of the current opacity value, then I'll lower the value by dragging the slider towards the left.
Notice that the color of the transparency stop has changed from black to white. Partial transparency is represented by various shades of gray. Notice also that the gradient bar is now transitioning from a solid color on the left to a checkerboard pattern on the right. The checkerboard pattern is how Photoshop represents transparency:. Just as we can move color stops to reposition them along the gradient, we can also move transparency stops. For example, what if I want the transition into transparency to start at yellow in the middle rather than at red on the left?
There's a couple of ways I can do that. One would be to simply click on the transparency stop on the left and drag it into the middle of the gradient so it sits above yellow. Another way would be to leave my two transparency stops in their original locations and add a third stop above the middle of the gradient. Then, I'll click above the gradient in the location where I want the new stop to appear.
In this case, it's the middle:. Photoshop adds the new transparency stop. You can add as many transparency stops as you need along the gradient for very fine-tuned control:.
