You are my hero ! I've been searching the internet and KZfaq for half an hour/1h for the difference between those, and there you are ! I am french, so I searched in french first, then english ! Your video is short (my favorite !) AND very pedagogue ! It makes perfect sense now, the gradient tool / fill tool reminds me of the gradient tool in Lightroom ! And since then, if anyone comes here starting today : the gradient fill doesn't work like that anymore, on Photoshop 2023. I found it via Layers - New fill layers - Gradient. Hope it helps !

The using the gradient tool on a gradient layer just blew my mind
@jeangran30284 ай бұрын
This is a super helpful video. I’m just used learning to use gradients, and it really helped me to see the distinction between the gradient tool, the gradient adjustment layer, and the gradient map. I would also love to see this video updated to the latest version of Photoshop since there were some changes in 2023. Thanks as always for your fabulous education.

Thanks, glad I could help. I have not updated this video and have no plans to on KZfaq. I do have an entire course on gradients that is updated though. It includes both the gradient editor and the gradient tool in more detail, MUCH more detail. Here's a link to it: f64elite.com/beyond-color-yt/

Rewatching old videos. This is a good one. I got a chuckle around 2:30 when you state diamond and reflected gradients are pretty much worthless (unless working with text) and that somebody on KZfaq will try to prove you wrong ... that person is Future Blake (something like 3-4 years later)! I recently watched the outstanding "Transform any photo with the diamond gradient" and "The Amazing Reflected Gradient" videos. Just goes to show we are all always improving and finding new ways to utilize the powerful tools. Keep up the good work, Blake. :)

I prefer using the B/W Gradient Map adjustment layer to make B/W conversions. On occasion, I will add a B/W adjustment layer below the B/W Gradient Map set to luminosity to change the tones in the conversion. Thank you for all of your excellent tutorials.
@f64Academy7 жыл бұрын
I am right there with you, my preferred method is Gradient Map set to Black and white with an HSL layer below it. So much control!

Great video, Blake. I think this may be an underrated video perhaps compared to your others (Blend ifs come to mind!) but the importance of these tools, and when to use them, is highly informative and you did a wonderful job of presenting. I think the gradient tools may be overlooked sometimes and this video serves as a reminder as to how powerful they can be to really change the look of one of your images dramatically with just a few clicks.

Some time ago I was shown how to use the quick mask with gradient (or brush.) So I select the area to apply the gradient and then chose whatever adjustment I want (levels usually.). Then I can apply that adjustment to the gradient and modify it with brushes, blend if, and opacity sliders. Very fast and efficient way to add a gradient.

I like how you can move the gradient when using the "Fill" option. Wish you could use that as a mask for combing images. Being able to just move it, instead of having to draw the gradient over and over to get your blend right. Any idea? (sorry sounds confusing)

I know what you mean. You can move masks if you unlink them they can move around just like a layer. Be sure to link them again if you move the layers around though.

No, a gradient map will only map the tones. It looks at tonal data only and cannot be a radial effect unless you use a mask.
