• To match the angle of the gradient to the path?

  

  Hello everyone!

  I checked some other messages and I saw one similar Steve but I think my question is a little different:

  If you consider this example in the photo, it is possible the gradient comes automatically to the angle of the trajectory?

  (instead of search for the degree by degree, which more or less angle should be..)

  I sometimes use the measure tool but you know how it is, it is not really good...

  Thank you

  You can do exactly and without error.

  Here's one way:

  Direct selection and copy a long side of the shpe you want to fill with a gradient.

  Paste in front (Cmd + F on Mac).

  Double-click the tool rotation (R) and type 90 °.

  Make a guide of your path (Cmd + 5). This new guide is the direction of your gradient.

  With the Smart Guides turned on, use the tool degraded (G) to drag the gradient to fit the width of the shape.

  Here's another way:

  Rotate your shape until it is vertical. Color her rose-or-something.

  Fill with the gradient of the color, then turn it to where he was.

  You can also make "steel bars" with a mix between two races, a thick black behind and a light a thin front.

  But that's another story. :-)

• Problem getting Gradient Overlay settings making GetObject of PutObject known

  Hi people,

  I'm trying to get multicolored and parameters multitranspatent for chassis (stroke, contour) and gradient overlay, layer descriptor.

  So far, I have had no problem to get settings for stroke (list of colors), list of transparency, color and transparency stops, its values RGB places and backgrounds.

  To my knowledge, it must be the same for the gradient overlay, but I'm stuck in one place.

  Here is the hierarchy I found of Getter (I gave the names to the descriptors to relieve me read the code)

  //============================================================

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descLAYER);

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descEFFECTS);

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descGRADIENT_OVERLAY);

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descGRAD_FILL);

  It should contain lists for color stop

  //=============================================================

  However, I don't find a way to get the descGRADIENT_OVERLAY of descEFFECTS.

  Corresponding getter PutObject looks like:

  error = sPSActionDescriptor-> PutObject(descEFFECTS,'GrFl','GrFl',descGRADIENT_OVERLAY);

  
  

  I had found the "GrFl' navigation headers is synonymous with enumGradientFill:

  
  

  #define enumGradientFill 'GrFl' / / typeFrameFill OF the LIBRARY

  Isuppose think I shoul use a conversion method. I tried something like

  error = sPSActionControl-> StringIDToTypeID ('GrFl', & runtimeClassID);

  but I suck.  Am I missing something. When I worked with edge effect, this was the situation: Descriptor hierarchy

  //==============================================================

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descLAYER);

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descEFFECTS);

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descSTROKE);

  sPSActionDescriptor-> Make (& descGRAD_FILL);

  
  

  It has lists for the stages of color

  //======================================================================
  

  Here descSTROKE had descriptor I called descGRAD_FILL that contain multicolored and multitransparency information. But I had no problem pulling on his class being classFrameFX key keyFrameFX so following code works.

  error = sPSActionDescriptor-> HasKey (descEFFECTS, keyFrameFX and hasKey);

  If (error) goto returnError;

  If (hasKey)

  {

  error = sPSActionControl-> StringIDToTypeID ("classFrameFX", & runtimeClassID);

  If (error) goto returnError;

  error = sPSActionDescriptor-> GetObject (descEFFECTS, keyFrameFX, & runtimeClassID, & descSTROKE);

  If (error) goto returnError;

  }

  
  

  Big problem boils down to the question of HOW TRANSFORMER PutObject line

  error = sPSActionDescriptor-> PutObject(descEFFECTS,'GrFl','GrFl',descGRADIENT_OVERLAY);

  
  

  At the GetObject line.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  Kind regards

  Of course getter just war.

  I was just mistake somewhere, but here computer how it works:

  error = sPSActionControl-> StringIDToTypeID ('GrFl', & runtimeClassID);

  error = sPSActionControl-> StringIDToTypeID ('GrFl', & runtimeKeyID);

  error = sPSActionDescriptor-> GetObject (descEFFECTS, runtimeKeyID, & runtimeClassID, & descGRADIENT_OVERLAY);

  And voila, works.

  Feel so stupid.

  Kind regards

• Gradient Overlay gradient vs compare/contrast

  I understand that correctly?

  With the Gradient Overlay on an adjustment layer, I'm able to edit the gradient necessary once it has been created. However, the effects cannot be applied to a layer of transpareent. This prevents me to create a gradient that transparent desolves.

  With the gradient tool, I am able to create a gradient layer that fades to transparent, but once the gradient has been placed on a layer, I'm not able to change it. In other words, I have to get the right gradient through a method of trials and errors creating the gradient, delete and create again with the new property settings.

  I see no way to create a gradient that fades transparent that I can change.  Am I missing something?

  TIA

  The layer effects do not work on empty layers, there must be some pixels

  on the layer.

  Try to use a gradient fill layer, which is adjustable at any time by double clicking

  Click the layer of filling in the layers panel.

  How I changed the color of something? OK, so I use to be able to change the color of things, but now I have use color overlay, gradient overlay, or change the color when I first create the form, it turns into another shade of gray instead of change the color, I chose.

  Three things I can think of:

  Your document must be in RGB mode.

  Layer blending mode should be set to Normal

  Masks are grayscale. If you select the mask, you cannot apply a color.

  Always check your tab at the top to see if what you choose is RGB or grayscale.

• How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

  How to change the angle of a gradient layer without changing anything else?

  When I try it myself my gradient everything turns black.

  To add to the above, you can just set the angle. If you want to use other existing parameters, you need to get from the layer. The code in this other thread shows a way to get them.

  But if you do not have the values for any other reason, you can get the handle to the layer, make a duplicate of it with all the settings and just crush those you want to change.

  It is a way to just change the angle while keeping the other existing settings.

• Compensate for the gradient tool

  Hi guys

  I use PsCC2015 I drew an ellipse and has added a gradient, with a radial pattern. The center of the star is at the center of the ellipse. For the effect I want, I need to compensate for the radial gradient from the center of the ellipse Center. Is this possible?

  Respect,

  Graham

  Yes it is possible. Double-click the layer, and then select gradient overlay and manually set the gradient whereve you want on the ellipse. Just like that.

• To copy the Gradient slider

  Hi Sir/Mdm,

  I am facing a problem in copying the Gradient slider from one object to another object. I used the eyedropper tool, click on the left sleeve and click on the right sleeve to copy the gradient but the cursor appears to be different, as shown below. Please advise me how to copy the Gradient slider identical to the original that I created. Below is the screenshot to describe my problem. Thanks in advance.

  

  In this case, you can convert the gradient "Radial" and assign the same gradient left and right form, at the same time, with the gradient centered at the neck.

  If you must stick with linear gradients, just "reflect" the left shoulder on the vertical axis. If you use the new form or not, you now have the exact angle of gradient that can be transferred to the right shape.

• Is there a way to get the gradient fill to move on another axis?

  If I try to add a gradient in a rectangle fill, so the gradient always goes from left to right (or right to left if I reverse the gradient) but y at - it a way to get the slope to go from the bottom to the top of the rectangle (and conversely from the top to the bottom of the rectangle)?

  Change the angle to be 90 or - 90.

  

  You can also use the gradient tool to change the direction/start and endpoint of your gradient.

• change the gradient fill

  This issue revolves around to change the angle of the filling of a repeated shape 'gradient'. I want to change the angle of degraded hundreds who, right now, are set to run horizontally. I need all of them to have the same vertical gradient. I can see the angle for each toolbar, but I can't possibly change one by one. If I consolidate them, the gradient is sent to all members as a unit, no not as simple fillings.

  Here is the example. I need to each filling to running up and down, not left to right. The gradient is a mixture of black, gray and white.

  Thanks for any help.
