Thank you, this is the second tutorial I’ve tried of your’s and have found both very helpful. I would certainly enjoy taking more.

Thanks…I’ll give it a try. I usually use Illustrator where gradients to me seem easier to handle.

Hey John. A way to do it is:

When you create the circle select Path instead of Shape layers, and then select Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient… and you have your gradient.
In CS 3 you can also convert your solid shape layer to a gradient layer (but i think they removed the feature is CS 4). If my memory serves me right you can find the conversion under: Layer > Layer Type (or something similar) – and then change the layer type to Gradient.

OK…I’ve been racking my brain on this and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to use the ellipse tool with a gradient fill. Do you have to convert the path before using the gradient tool? How did you start the sphere with anything other than a solid colored ellipse?

Hi! You’re great, I love yours works. That tut its really usefull, but how do you make shapes (vector mask, etc) with gradient fill instead color fill. Thank you!

This was an excellent tutorial. I like the wood one as well, I’ve been wondering how to do that but other tutorials never gave me the effect I wanted.

Cheers!

Great! some parts sounded a bit complicated at first glance, so I’ll try it myself later. Thanks for the effort, Kevin!!
