-- Posted by babyface18 at 5:24 am on Nov. 30, 2008 K this is probably gonna sound relli dumb to those of you who are masters of photoshop but i was wondering how you would change the colour because whenever I try and change it when using the gradient tool of just for the brush it only comes out as greyscale, like black and white basically and I am trying to get the colour purple. Any help would be great or links to tutorials showing me a solution. Thanks. -- Posted by 101hereicome at 5:25 am on Nov. 30, 2008 Flatten the image? -- Posted by britishguy at 4:24 am on Dec. 2, 2008 TO change the colour for a gradient you need to click on the thumbnail preview of the gradient in the top left of the screen. If you click the arrow on the right hand side of that box then you can change the gradient to another present in the drop down window. Or if you want you can double click the gradient thumbnail and define your own gradient which can have as many colour points as you like as well as transparancy. If you are using the very first gradient then that is actually foreground -> background, so you can change that simply by changing the foreground and background colours. Before you do anything make sure you are using a colour image and not a grayscale image - go to Image and then go to colour depth and make sure it is either 24 bit or 32 bit. If it's a greyscale image then you can't use a colour gradient Feel free to PM me if you have any other PS questions. Once you learn it all it's a breeze. It's just getting going that's the tricky part.
