I have an image that is used for as a Tab on a web page. It is just a rectangel, with the top corners rounded. It is filled with a gradient fill.

Right now, the gradient goes from Orange to Yellow. I need to change the color from Green to Beige. How do I change the colors without affecting the rest of the image?

Or, how can I gradient fill a rounded rectange to begin with? I can create the shape using the rounded rectangle tool, but when I try to gradient fill it, it also fills the area outside of the rounded corners (background).

Obviously I am very new to PS. Thanks in advance

Use the Path option on the shape tool. Then in the paths palette, make the path a selection (ctrl+click). Then use the gradient.

Changing the foreground and background colors will change the gradient.

You can also click the gradient in the options bar to open the gradient editor and make any gradient you like.
