ricecrispies Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 In Designer I want to colour a rectangle with a gradient of a certain colour, but no matter what colour I choose, the gradient always ends up in greyscale, and no matter how much I try to select the particular rectangle I want to colour, the gradient always ends up covering the whole canvas. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Is the 'particular rectangle' made with one of the Shapes tools or the Pen tool? I am having no problem using the Gradient tool with these shapes. Is the rectangle a pixel layer?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gear maker Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Are you using the fill (gradient) tool or the gradient overlay in the layer effects? I recommend using the fill tool. Are you trying to figure out how to do it, or do you know how and are experiencing problems?
