the Preview.

9. In the Editing Tools pane, Colorize the layer to something that is
drastically different the colors in your image.

Remember, the rule for a Grayscale Adjustment is "light reveals, dark
conceals". With the sample adjustment layer you just created , the lighter
portion of the gradient layer is what is be affected by the colorize change

top part of the image -that part of the image that is underneath the white
portion of the gradient in Layer 1.
