Gradients vs Gradient Maps

Thank you so much for this one. You have no idea how i frustrate to do this kind of effect on my project earlier. I have the idea on my mind how my project looks like, i just dont know how to do and you just help me on this tutorial. Godbless you my friend.❤

Finally.... Thankyou. I had no idea what to use and why. Am trying to learn PS after years of using LR. I did watch a video ( and sadly did not book mark it... so cannot find it) using channels and Gradients for landscapes.... Black and white. Would it be worthwhile you doing a tutorial on it????? I also live in South Africa and I cannot afford to pay dollars with the exchange rate with what it is at the moment.

Great coach for the gradients! I got a question in my photoshop for the gradient map- when I edit the gradient map and try to change the color and opacity, i realised the opacity boxes(normally on the top the color boxes) are gone?? this only happen to the gradient map?? wondering if you know what happened? thanks a lot in advance!

The using the gradient tool on a gradient layer just blew my mind

"reflected gradient almost worthless..." hmm

Thank you so much Blake! Awesome information!

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.

A very nice lesson.. I want you to explain how to harmonize colors in a design that has more than one layer

I still don’t understand why I would use a gradient map or a gradient on my photos. Could you show us some examples on the practical use of these tools?

Quite literally one of the best explanations of gradient you gave here. Amazing!!!

This is excellent. Thank you!

Awesome tutorial -- completely demystifies gradients!

Concise relevant. Just the facts. Thank you.

Very well explained!

Excellent my friend as usual

Thank you!

Hello, may I ask how to tidy the new gradient in gradient map?
Example: I create a new gradient and it's default at bottom, I wanna move this gradient to middle.

Genious

Hello, first let me say your gradient video was awesome! The reason for my note is to get help understanding and unlocking the mystery of a gradient in an action. I have an action that that uses a gradient to place a hair light behind my subject. I understand the mechanics of what is being done, I just don't understand where to find all the parameters associated with the gradient in the action and I was hoping you can help. If you so choose to accept this mission and want to try help me.... hahaha, please send me a note at huettelfap@@t and we can talk more. Thx, Michael

GREAT tutorial...except the problem I am having, when I click to get gradiant fill, I get no colours in thumbnails like all the tutorials I am seeing....I followed intently but a lot of what you did doesn't work...My image didn't turn to black and white when I pressed D..

Well done... thorough and concise.. perfect!

Another great no-nonse video Blake! Great explanation. Coincidentally I saw the other one about the diamond gradient first, so the intro of this one made me chuckle ;-)

Great detail explanation - thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Very helpful!

Absolutely top-notch tutorial Blake...! Now I understand....👍🏻

very professional video man thank u!

Nailed it. Thanks for this!

Very helpful thank you

Very good and useful! Straight to the point, showed options and variations, gave food for thought. Very nice!

Its starting to sink in. meaning I got to go practice this. P.S...Like the comment about somebody proving you wrong on the diamond gradient.

Thank you

I honestly think this is the best tutorial I’ve ever watched, not only for Photoshop but in general O.O !!! It answers all my questions, plus the discussion at the end gives the presentation more depth beyond the basics. Keep up the good work and thanks!!!

2017: "Diamond Gradient is worthless unless you are working with text"
2020: "Diamond Gradient is my favourite Gradient for landscape photography"

Thus explanation of gradient tool, adjustment, and map is infinitely fantastic. I understand gradients much better.

Fast forward to 2020 and you have changed your mind about diamond gradient. Still experimenting and learning.

Please make more videos abour photoshop this is amazing <3

Thank you very much. Now I can use this gradient map effectively. Thos is powerful trick for color grading. Almost everyday I watch your tutorials and learn something different. Regards.

I
Learned lot from this. Tank you so much

Awesome video. Tnx 😊

I like how you are thorough in every aspect whenever you explain.

Your videos are outstanding! Thanks so much for explaining this so well. One of the best photoshop video tutorial channels on you tube

Thanks so much for this helpful tutorial! Quick question, does the gradient map have the "radial" version like the one in gradient tool? I can't seem to find it for some reason so just wondering if it even exists. Thank you!

Thanks Blake, now I am a gradient graduate...

Thanks

Hi Sir Good day, May I ask the links of your courses in photoshop regarding all the tools like, blend mode, adjustment layer, brush, Filters etc... I want to have a strong foundation and I think you can help me Thank you.
