Photoshop color gradients
September 3rd, 2005 | Filed under Color, Photoshop
To create a gradient from one color to the other with Photoshop (like, um, a lightening blue sky), choose set the foreground color to the starting color and your background color to the ending color. Select the area in your image where the gradient will occur. Then choose the gradient tool (in Photoshop, not ImageReady) and draw a line in the direction the gradient should occur (up/down, horizontal, diagonally, like in the screen grab.
(Disclaimer: I am Photoshop-stupid, and this is rudimentary how-to on the Gradient tool, which I just discovered today.)
