Ripple Gradient

I'm going through a tutorial where we're using a technique that employs the use of the basic gradient tool to cover parts of a layer mask. From what I can tell, the instructor in the video is using a default black to white gradient. The problem I'm having is that he keep using the gradient tool to build up the area with several applications and angles. When I try to do that, my gradient application is 'replaced' by any following uses, instead of adding to it. Obviously I could just manually paint over the one gradient application with a big soft brush, but I wanted to know why mine replaces instead of adds. I've searched settings, but nothing sticks out. Any ideas?

Hi, i've been trying to achieve the same effect as on the pictures attached through gradient+noise combination but the result is not exactly what i need. I searched for cosmic nail polish effect tutorial for ps (looks pretty similar to me lol) but couldn't find any. Any suggections? Many thanks.

Hi guys,

here is a photo that I wonder how they were able to have a continuous gradient behind the stand so that the gradient can be seen through the plexi stand? I tried masking the area inside the plexi stand but how do I still make it look like a semi-transparent plexi stand while also the gradient behind the stand?

Thanks for any help.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to recreate the multi colored gradient shadow effect on the image below. I have the black outline of the object that I want to be surrounded by the gradient, and I want to recreate it so that it is exactly how it is in the flyer below. Thank you.

Hey all. I'm trying to recreate the blur effects of the logo(s) used for the Tate Modern.

The logos:






The topic has been discussed befo

One of the solutions suggests using gradient masks, feathering and adjusting the curves. This works but falls short of achieving the more exaggerated effect of for instance the last two photo I've posted above. Are there other things I can do to bloat/obscure the shape of the letters? I also want them to still look like there going in/out of focus.

In addition I've had trouble with the gradient masks:



As you may be able to see, part of the text (diagonally across the middle) is masked over slightly. The idea was to create two complementing gradient masks so one masks over the top left one layer, one masks over the bottom right of one layer so when the layers are placed on top of each other it creates one seamless, solid color. I thought I could do this by copying the gradient mask of the first layer, moving it to the second layer and inverting the colors, but as you can see a grey area appears, where the two fading gradient masks seem to overlap. Here is the text with the gradient masks disabled:



Also the original typeface they used is supposedly VAG Rounded.

Thank you so much for your time!

Hey guys , i'am not sure if my title is right LOL .

Please have a look at the below image :



see those 3 images that have a orinange-gish effect , how was that effect created ? i know this is something really simple . but i just need to make it look professional , so just wanted to know whats the best way to do it ?

Hello guys, i'm have a little trouble to print a folder of my company.

I hired a guy to make the folder, but he backed out of the deal.

The folder is already completed, i'm just having issue with the printer company.

My background isn't in the right black composition in cmyk.

How do i change the actual RGB gradient of my background to a CMYK with ONLY K color making the gradient??

Any idea?

Here's the print of the last page.

Hi I've just created a white circle. I would like to add some shading on it to make it appear more 3D.

I use the gradient tool...but instead of it being white...with dark grey/black shading. It goes from white and fades to the colour of the background it's on. I've spent hours messing around with the gradient tool and the colours will not change. It just fades to whatever background it's on rather than a specified colour. All I want is a white sphere with black shading...rather than see through white.

It's driving me mad.

Cheers

Look at this image very very carefully . JUST THE BACKGROUND , what u see first is that is that the designer has applied a gradient , which is very very effective , but what makes this picture look so professional is if you look a bit deeper or zoom in you will see a few shapes , that really make this image look awesome , my question is what tool was used to make that , or how did the designer make that at all , i need to implement the same in one of my coming up projects , so pls help me . Thank you.

Regards .

Hi guys,

So I applied the lighting effects (in filter/render) to my background, and when i zoom in, I can see these ugly gradient circles, that may appear when I print out the background. Is there any way to make the lighting smooth without these circles? Thanks for help
