I bet I've messed with some setting somewhere and forgot to change it back, but I can't for the life of me fix this problem.
It would be best if I don't have to add a blur to the gradient to get it to look right,
I can't seem to use the adjustment tools in RAW editing of JPEG's. An error message comes up.."Unable to create local adjustments. All the local adjustment controls are set to have no effect on the image". These are tools I have been using regularly and all other tools work. I have shut off my MAC and rebooted but still get this message. How can I reenable these adjustment tools??

View 4 Replies View Related1. I'm trying to fill a shape on my image with a gradient effect. I can use the paintbucket tool to fill in a regular solid colour, but when I try and use the gradient tool it fills the entire window with a gradient. How can I fill a particular part of the image with a gradient (it's also not really possible to use the marquee tool).
2. My image has some 'broken' shapes that floods out the whole image when I use the paintbucket fill. Is there a setting so that small gaps can be ignored and therefore no bleeding occurs (such as there is in Flash MX)?
I'm new but I have fallen in love with photoshop. I only have one issue I cannot seem to clear up... can I use more than two color's with the gradient tool? (fore and backgroud) If so, how?
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor a while now I've been struggling to understand why my Gradient Tool is like this? I don't recall making any changes to it in the past and now it's stuck like this. I've searched high and low online for answers but I've been unsuccessful so far.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an old document from an installation that no longer exists.It has a background gradiant created using the gradient tool and I clearly modified that and in all probability saved it as a preset.
However I now need to edit it, how do you edit gradiants created using the tool? Or should I have used a mask and blending to retain editability.
I have a layer and I want it to fade to transparent (using the gradient tool?). Last time I did this, I used masks of some type, but forgot to make notes on what I did... Can someone point me in the right direction?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the gradient tool and want the foreground & background colours used as the gradient fill. (I've read in many manuals that the foreground & backgound colors are the default colours when using the Gradient tool) When I use it, it automatically uses one of the preset colours and I can't figure out how to use the two colours I've chosen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the gradient tool it has visible transition lines even though I am using the colour to transparency option. When I say visible I do not mean hard edged transition, but the transition is visible on the screen and when printing.
Is this inevitible or am I missing a trick to getting a barely visible transition edge?
i'm trying to fade out the last few inches of a photograph so it blends more seamlessly into backgrounds it's placed onto.If I use the gradient tool, set to "Foreground to Transparent" I get the proper effect, but instead of fading to transparent it fades to white.. which dosen't work when I move the layer over a coloured background.
I've read and watched many tutorials on this, and they all say to create a layer mask, and then use the gradient tool.. but for some reason anytime I have the layer mask selected the gradient tool won't work at all..
I'm currently using photoshop CS6 and am trying to make a nice logo for my website. I used photoshop through high school so I know little basic things about the program. Anyways, I'm creating a logo from a tut on youtube, it says to hit "ctrl i" which makes the background black. After that I select a darkish grey as my foreground color, then I hit the gradient tool and set it to "radial gradient." Now I drag the mouse across the document and let go but nothing happens. I then tried it with a white background and it worked fine, but I want the background to be black. I made sure that it was on normal, the opacity is 100% and everything seems correct to what the tutorial was showing me. He uses a different photoshop than me so I don't know if that's what causes it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to blend a couple of images together using the gradient tool.
I moved one image to the other using the move tool, I then added Layer Mask (in the layers palette), i then got my gradient tool and selected black,white.....I used the gradient tool on the left side of the image and it blended beautifully.
So, now that the left side is blended nicely, I attempt to blend the right side. The right side blends very nice.....but my left side went back to where it was originally.
How do I blend multiple sides of the image?
On screen this show when doing a simple layer mask fade with the gradient tool. (notice the hard transition in the black) The if I flatten it it looks fine, like this.
I don't understand why all of a sudden it is doing this, same with brushes. Just seems to happen in the layer mask which is really deceiving.
The depth of field tool is not working in my copy of Elements 12. Trying to use "Simple" mode after having sucess using this on a friends computor. I can add blur but the gradient tool has no effect??

I am using a Windows 7, 64-bit Pro desktop pc.
Even though I select the gradient tab, have the central circle highlighted (black dot showing) and have the three lines showing; when I attempt to adjust levels within the selected zone, the whole picture changes. Depending on image gradient area is either one third to half, horizontally, sky or foreground.
I have tried it on other images, restarting Lightroom and rebooting PC, nothing seems to change it.
I also have it installed on my laptop, running 64-bit Home and it works fine.
Did a photographic course yesterday and my images could be manipulated whether on their pc or my laptop. Brought them back home and no go on the desktop again?
In this example I did the following
1. used the circle marquee and did a 8 point stroke.
2. Selected the circle with the magic marquee to get an active selection
3. Gradient tool
Doing the above results in jagged edges that alias badly once I fill the selection with the gradient. With a basic color the circle is perfeclty fine, only once I add the gradient the edges become jagged. How might I fix this?
My Gradient Tool no longer shows the Gradient Tool Annotator over a selected object. Did I turn something off that I don't know about? Recently updated my CS5 version to try and fix but no luck.
