Gradients 695
You can also apply a Gradient by choosing the Paint Bucket tool from
the toolbox, choosing Gradient from the Fill list box on the property bar, then
clicking the selected area, layer, or channel.
You can also modify the gradient fill opacity by choosing Edit Fill, and
adjusting the Opacity slider in the Fill dialog box. Decreasing the gradient
opacity increases the transparency of the gradient fill.
To paint a gradient

4 Choose Window Brush Control Panels General.
5 Click the Brush Selector on the Brush Selector bar.

If the Source pop-up menu in the General controls panel is not available (appears

example, the Pattern Pens brush category supports gradients.
7 From the General controls panel, choose a dab type from the Dab Type pop-up
menu.

gray), the selected dab type does not support gradients. For example, the Line

following options:
• Gradient — applies the current gradient across the width of the stroke
• Gradient Repeat — repeats the current gradient along the length of the stroke
