Curious as to know the difference
What is the difference between the Black to Transparent Gradient and the Black to White Gradient--are they not doing the same jobe? Mike  _________________ Just because I've read a book doesn't mean that I know what I'm talking about...sigh! |

No, black to white fades between black and white, ie. the greyscale spectrum. Bear in mind that it's Foreground to Transparent so this gives a fade out from whatever colour you have as the foreground colour. _________________ A happy-go-lucky chap, always dressed in black |

Re: Curious as to know the difference
If you apply them both to a blank white layer then yes, they'll appear the same. But the foreground-to-transparent mode is especially useful for adding shading to existing layers, or in blank layers: only the black will show up, so it will only darken what's beneath it. David - can you have a "greyscale spectrum"? |
