To be able to create an editable gradient, you must first create a fill layer ("Layer" -> "New fill layer"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVDB Photography Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 An other way is to use an FX gradient overlay ...

It123 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Me again, I've added a new fill layer and applied an adjustable gradient to it, great. However, if I want to add a second adjustable gradient do I need to add a second fill layer on top of the stack with another gradient in it or do I have to do all selections and gradients on a single layer? What I want to do is add gradients to selections I've made from the background; I want to add different grads to each selection. Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michail Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 @It123: Create a selection. Select "Layer" -> "New fill layer". Your selection will be converted to a separate fill layer, and you can edit the gradient. Repeat this process for each of your selections. A new fill layer is created each time. If you want to edit one of these fill layers later, select the gradient tool and click on the corresponding layer. It123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It123 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hello again Michail. I've just tried your suggestion of, selection, new fill layer and gradient and it works very well for me. This is all I've been trying to do since the start of my question. Big thanks, you have eased my frustrations, regards Terry Michail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
