 Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 2:04 pm Post subject: Gradients and custom shapes |
 |
|
I'm using CS4 and trying to follow any number of tutorials and I get completely stumped every time at this point.
I'm asked to create a rectangle the size of my canvas and fill it. Fine. Then create a rounded rectangle overtop of it. Fine. Then I'm to go into blending options and Gradient Overlay. Fine. This is where I'm stumped.
They show the "gradient editor". I cannot find this for the life of me. Adobe CS4 docs state there should be a gradient preview in the info panel. There isn't because I'm not using the gradient tool, but a gradient overlay.
How do I find the gradient editor when using a gradient overlay and not the tool?
Thanks! |

Hi there meshman, just double click on the layer you want to add a gradient layer then click gradient overlay then go down until you see Gradient : then color of the gradient should be there. just double click on that and there you go.
