gradient fill quessy
just cobbled together a simple business card (in photoshop) which on about 1/3rd of the card from the left is a mainly orange graphic. this then stops and the remaider is white with the contact details on. Is there a way to blend this orange/white divide, over about 5mm. Ive tried using gradient fill but im not sure how this works and only get a preset gradients fill things.
any ideas?? thanks |

you should be able to blend the fade to where its more smooth.... if thats what i gather your trying to get to.
you have to double click on the gradient on that top bar and it should open a window... from here is where you construct your colors to fade and how smooth or harsh you want to fade or color gradient. there is a small bubble or dot between the two colors that you want to fade...... move that around... move those little tags/buttons/tabs whatever they are called around to your liking. sorry... i dont know the proper terms... its easier to show then to verbalize. hope this helps.. prbably doesnt... since you may not be able to understand me due to my lack of proper jargon.

well, you should be able to accomplish that by setting your colors right there on the bottom of your tool palette. put the bg on white & the fg on orange. then just select the gradient tool and make sure up there in the little strip at the top that it shows white to orange.. then just drag it along your document however long you want the gradient to last.

I presume you have an orange box for the orange part.
If so, then Control-Click on the orange-box Layer in the Layers Palette, and choose "Blending Options." Then click on the Gradient option (click the checkbox) and set up your gradient right there. This way you can easily make adjustments to the gradient without having to re-do it from scratch. |
