How To Make Transparent Gradients In Photoshop - The Complete Guide

[@razorsandvines]

Thank you so much for this! It's been years since I've used Photoshop and I found myself at a loss for a minute before I went on a search for a video tutorial. THIS was EXACTLY what I needed. I couldn't hit the subscribe button fast enough. Thank you!

[@AmitPal-gt6qh]

your explanation holds such significance with utter simplicity that made is really easy to understand, remember and apply, thank you for your work

[@mycell6820]

Never understood gradient tool better before. Great video Brendan!

[@RobbInStPete]

Your tutorials are incredibly helpful and really well done, so thanks! I had to come to the comments to find out why you say "check off" dither and transparency but leave them checked ON when you create the gradient!!!! But I get it now. Bottom line for anyone confused like I was: Make sure to check ON dither & transparency if they are checked OFF! By turning them "on" you will be checking them "off" the list of things to do! 🤣

[@thedandelionranger]

You are a Brilliant Genius, the Precision and Speed with which you teach is Wonderfully Helpful

Selute to you. Now you are my Photoshop teacher.

[@fredex147]

I just needed this explanation for my photoshop "problem". Thanks. I'm going to watch some more of your videos.

[@matteoromero]

By “checked off” you mean checked on haha. Great tutorial

[@susan_touch]

Great video Brendan, your explanation of the different types of transparent gradient effects in Photoshop was engaging and easy to follow. Keep up with the good work.

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

Thanks Suzie!

[@karmenmott9229]

Great video. Short and clear. (Usually I listen to similar tutorials at a speed of 1.5 or even 1.75 due to unnecessary even annoying explanations. Excellently explained and demonstrated. Thanks a lot, it was very helpful to me. Keep up the good work.

[@marklechman5230]

This was an amazing tutorial Brendan!

[@JunayedMerun]

awesome video! simple easy and clear. thanks a lot :)

[@lizzypeer8709]

Just starting this video, but hopefully this is the one I actually am looking for. I'm a beginner and my sister is having me teach myself photoshop, because she doesn't have the time to record a bunch of videos of her process on how she does stuff step by step, and I've never used the gradient in photoshop before. I did something with it last night, but I can't remember how I did it, so maybe this vid will help. :) I'm learning how to edit the yard signs for my sister's etsy store.

[@Its_I_Ziggyman]

A million thanks to you :) ... This has baffled me for a long time and now it's all cleared up

[@cfr1205]

Enjoyed the tutorial. This was my first time watching your video. For those of us that need a little more time to digest your instructions, it would be nice if you could slow down a bit. When you know something so well, the tendency is to rush a bit. But thanks!

[@pbziegler]

This is an excellent video. I am a very advanced PS user and rarely see a video that is well done AND shows me something new. You did both

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

Well I appreciate the kind words! :)

[@fahim618]

[@marshahilton200]

Awesome video. Look forward to watching your other videos!

[@RoyHessey]

Excellent. Thanks

[@Welshmanshots]

Thanks for this, im making a thumbnail for a video and im using vertical photos and wanted the photos not to look out of place and by fading the edges on one images it makes the images looks a bit more natural.

[@adarshtiwari7395]

You are awesome... Thank you!

[@davidgrandy4681]

How do you use Black to transparent, but use multiple strokes from corner to middle? This used to be so simple to do. I would do this over say a blue background and it would have dark edges. When a photo was inset on this "canvas" the background had a very interesting look.

[@danielburns311]

Thank you for this video! This info is exactly what I was looking for. Good job with the video!

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

No problem!

[@hjbnew2009]

Thank you. Excelent

[@Freezeart]

Thanks, quck & easy

[@fidelrodriguez7964]

Awesome!!!!

[@davidbreazeale820]

Hi Brendan. I might be a little late for this comment, but I've noticed that when I click on foreground/background in the tool bar to change the order of gradient that nothing happens. I must click on the gradient drop down window at the top to change the order. Thanks

[@Thegirlwithalyre]

Thanks for the helpful video👏 I checked all the things you said but when I apply gradient tool anywhere on my project it takes over the whole page even when I change its setting.. I had to use brush tool to reach the same effect!

[@tanlaikuen1106]

Awesome, thanks man!!

[@chipcurry]

Great job, very cool channel. Very tasty lower thirds. And the photo montage at the intro was superb. Did you take those photos? If you did, a hearty congratulations to an incredible career.

[@rickrose1964]

Hi Brendan. Thank you for being so concise and informative with a smooth delivery! This is exactly what I was trying to do with masking and gradients but just couldn't fully figure it out. Awesome. :)

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

You're very welcome!

[@step1610]

video starts at 5:00

[@Stellifant]

Another great tutorial Brendan. Is it possible to graduate effects from the filter range? For example, graduate blur from none to heavy blur? Thanks.

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

Yes, if you applied a foreground to transparent gradient on a gaussian blur smart filter layer mask

[@Stellifant]

@@BrendanWilliamsTutorials Thank you!

[@FelipeAsprillaO]

Did they remove the transparency option in the gradient?

[@ayushivats868]

Nice way of explanation. Found it really helpful!

[@thisguythatguyify]

A helpful video. Thank you. I would like it more if you split all these tips into 30 second videos so I didn't need to go through 7 minutes of irrelevant content to find the radial opacity gradient

[@PerryBennett-j3d]

How would I make the entire image faded. Not just the center or the side.

[@Jotsviz330]

sir how can we make the gradient vertical trasparent

[@onlinemoneytec7756]

lassana kallak innava😝😝😝😝😝

[@cindyayuw9245]

thank you!

[@sebdos]

5:27 click and drag : how ?

[@vopall]

I was hoping to learn how to fade the edges of a custom cropped image, if that's even possible.

[@hanily860]

The problem is , how to show the exported png image like this one in windows 11 photo viewer? The transparency will convert to white!! , annoying me , & Facebook also do the same fault , only paint brush program shows the real transparency of this png , is there away to solve this situation please?

[@duanecalhoon3322]

does these steps work with older versions of ps as in cs2???

[@BrendanWilliamsTutorials]

The foreground to transparent gradient should be available in the vast majority of versions but I am not certain about cs2 in particular
