Open a 20
x 200 Transparent Image
Click on the gradient button in Styles
Click
on Edit
Then New
A pop up
box will come up. You need to name your gradient. then click OK.
OK now in
the Gradient box, You see those little markers hanging
below the long color strip ? Click the one on the
left.
Then click on
the color box and your eye dropper should appear. make it
whatever
color you want. For the purposes of this tutorial, I'm going
to make a
3 tone gradient but you can make them as little as 2 colors and up to
as many colors as you wish.
Click on the far right marker. Click on the
color box and change the color marker to whatever pleases you.
Now click right under the strip of color I
put mine somewhere in the middle. You have created a new
marker.
Click on it, then on the color box, change the color.
you
can add as many colors to your gradient as you wish by adding new
markers and changing the colors of each marker. if you dont like
one,
you can remove it by clicking on it with the mouse and dragging it off
the gray area. you can slide the markers back and forth to change
the
gradient and like I said, you can add more. When you're done,
click OK.
You
can change the transparency of your gradients with the lower one.
Change the opacity to whatever suites your needs. You can add
markers
to the transparency also and have it more transparent in some areas
then others.
Mess
around with it. Have fun! You can always undo something you
dont
like. You will be joining gradient anonymous very
soon! I'll see you
there! LOL
