Photoshop Gradient Tool and How to Use It

The video starts with how to use a gradient and provides an overview of the different types of gradients at your disposal in Photoshop. This includes a discussion of where to find the gradient tool in the Photoshop toolbox and how to make adjustments to gradient features like opacity.

From there, Chris demonstrates how to use transparency in gradients, explains how to edit and create new gradients, and shows you how to apply gradients to selected areas.

The gradient tool also has a noise gradient option, shown above.

The noise gradient is created by selecting colors from a range you specify, and then displaying them randomly.

In the examples above, you can see how changing the Roughness (which controls how gradual the transitions are between colors) results in vastly different-looking gradients.

With that, you have a solid introduction to using gradients in Photoshop. Be sure to watch the complete video at the beginning of this article to get familiar with the ins and outs of the Photoshop gradient tool.
