Where is the gradient tool in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 7:40 pm

Gradients are a powerful tool in Photoshop that can be used for a variety of effects. They can be used to create a range of effects from subtle to dramatic, and can be used to add interest and brightness to images.

The gradient tool can be found in the tools panel on the left side of the screen, and is composed of three main sections: the gradient bar, the gradient picker, and the gradient brush.

PRO TIP: The gradient tool in Photoshop can be found in the ‘Tools’ menu, under the ‘Drawing’ sub-menu. However, it is important to note that this tool is only available in Photoshop CS6 and above. If you are using an older version of Photoshop, you will not be able to access the gradient tool.

The gradient bar is the main section of the gradient tool, and contains a range of options for controlling the gradient. These options include the start and end points of the gradient, the gradient angle (the angle at which the gradient will be drawn), and the gradient type (linear, radial, or stroked).

The gradient picker is located below the gradient bar, and allows you to select the colors that will be used to create the gradient. The gradient picker can be used to select a range of colors, or to select a single color.

The gradient brush is located below the gradient picker, and allows you to paint the gradient using a brush. The gradient brush can be used to paint the entire gradient, or to paint specific areas of the gradient.
