The gradient tools create a gradual blend between multiple colors. You can choose from existing gradient fills or create your own.
Linear gradient (
) Shades from the starting point to the ending point in a straight line.
Radial gradient (
) Shades from the starting point to the ending point in a circular pattern.
Angular gradient (
) Shades in a counterclockwise sweep around the starting point.
Reflected gradient (
) Shades using symmetric linear gradients on either side of the starting point.
Diamond gradient (
) Shades from the starting point outward in a diamond pattern. The ending point defines one corner of the diamond.
Note: The gradient tools cannot be used with images in Bitmap, indexed-color, or 16-bits per channel mode.
