198 8. Layers

• Gradient Type controls the shape and variety of gradient that
you’re making. Use this option to configure what kind of shape is
used to make a change from one color to another.

o Linear is the standard
gradient that most of us
are used to seeing. It’s a
straight line that slowly
changes from one color to
another.
o Radial changes color in a circle. The inner circle is one
color and, as you move further toward the edges of the
layer, the color changes.
o Angular is a gradual wipe from one color to another.
Almost like a radar screen – the Angular option will be
one color starting at the angle you select and change
colors as the angle changes around the layer.
o Rectangular is very similar to a circle. The rectangle in
the center of the layer is one color which changes as you
move further toward the edges of the layer.

o Diamond is yet another shaped gradient. The Diamond
shape in the center of the layer is the base color which
changes as you approach the edges.

o Plasma is the most unique of the gradients. Plasma will
generate 'cloud like' color changes in a random pattern
of blobs throughout the layer. You can change the
random pattern of the Plasma by clicking on the Seed
button in the Gradient Settings pane. You can give
your seed a specific numerical value or use the
Randomize button.
