Gradient fade on text - desaturated colors


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm having troubles with a small design of mine. I want to apply a gradient fade (from both sides) on a text layer. I tried this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5TqqrC3AOY.

 

It works quite well, I get my faded sides of the text. But unfortunately, the colors get gradually desaturated as well. I'm attaching a screenshot, where there are 2 layers visible. One with the fade (and desaturation problem) and the other as a reference.

 

I tried rasterising the text and then the fade works fine, the colors are preserved. But I need to keep the text as a vector.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Could I achieve this effect on a vector text without losing color information?

 

Thanks for any tip or advice.
