OMG I’ve been searching for a way to get this done for three weeks now. Thank you so much for all of your hard work in Photoshop and Lightroom and here on RUclips making all of those countless hours of video tutorials to help us all with learning Photoshop and Lightroom. I have been a huge fan of your work for 10 years now. Again thank you for all of your hard work and dedication in teaching us all about PS & LRC
are some of the steps missing as when you start the gradient you see the head and the gray box has gone this is not happerning for me unless i invert the layer mask from white to black
That was very enlightening. So much easier than selecting the subject turning it into smart object, then getting rid of the background then creating a gradient. The background is lost and you will never get the same results. Thank you for that.
This is exactly what I have been trying to do to combine a sequence of a barrel racer going between barrels into one image. You made it simple and seamless! THANK YOU! ! !
Thanks Colin! I learn something new every time I watch one of your excellent videos! I use masks a lot but never even thought of using a radial gradient on a mask in the technique you demonstrated here. It will come in very handy in the future!
It’s so nice to see how far you’ve come over the years from Photoshop World. I remember you being on the floor in the exhibition hall selling your videos. Great job!
As always awesome! What a great way to use the radial gradient tool. I have always used the regular gradient to blend with masks, but this is a game changer. Thanks Colin!
I’m glad they finally added a gradient tool to Photoshop. I wonder if they will ever give us the ability to create elliptical/oval radial gradients like you can in Illustrator using the gradient tool. The setting is called aspect ratio.
great video. I love the video, but It seems like everytime i try to follow what you are doing my PS does not show the same exact panels and does not do what yours does, is there some way to reset PS back to factory defaults?
thanks Colin , great only one snag I encountered , using windows and photoshop beta when using the gradient tool , the centre dot and circle radius ( at 1minute 27 seconds on your clip ) , when I do this and release the mouse they vanish so cant repositon ,, am sure its some stupid box I haven't clicked , but cant find it . \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\keep up fantastic work
Oh, this is just tooooo cool! I love creating movie-poster style images, and this will get used a lot! I'm still having my mind blown on a regular basis with the Beta version...
I think you missed a step at the beginning and some people may get confused if they follow your instructions. We must create black layer masks or invert the normal white layer mask. We must set the foreground colour to White not black. Please let me know if I have that right. Thanks for your videos.
I am missing some step(s). I have tried to duplicate this technique without success. I have written out the steps. About 1:17 you click on an image of a woman, the image disappears but as you drag the radial gradient, she come back into view little by little. When I click on an image, it does not disappear. Any chance of getting a step by step guide in PDF format?
Colin thank you so much for this. I have been looking for something like this where I can put my butterflies. Only thing is I have no flying butterflies! There is so much to learn and so little time when you get old......
Ok, looks good thanks a lot! Question - what if - before you closed/saved your file - you selected ALL the layers added with their masks and made that collection into a SMART OBJECT - would subsequent opening then find all the gradients intact and not rasterized? 🤔 (I know I could test this myself, but I'm traveling 42+k feet above sea level and I'm just using my phone) 😀
Great video. I am having a difficult time with the stacking. When I follow your instructions, the files open in another file an look like layers. They are not opening in the original background file I have selected. Can't figure what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions.
Colin, which version of Adobe Photoshop are you using? The way that you adjust the gradient is not possible on my PC with Windows 10. The same methodology is possible when I am using Affinity Photo. Is there a setting that I am missing? Also from the "Render" section of the "Filter" drop-down, "Clouds" is enabled and the other options are greyed.
Hi Colin, a brilliant, video. I've tried to emulate what you did but I'm getting into a muddle. The only way I could achieve the gradients was to make the foreground colour white and not black and when you create the layer mask you have to invert it, is this correct? this means that I have to guess where the image is (as the mask is inverted). If you could help me I would be grateful. Regards John

Another Like from Brazil! Helped me here!
Cool (and new to me) technique!! Thanks!

Great, fun and easy tutorial....tried it out this morning! Thanks! I would not have thought to use a radial gradient in masking.
Excellent my friend, as usual

That was really useful & enjoyable as all your tutorials are - Thanks Colin
Thanks so much
great video. I love the video, but It seems like everytime i try to follow what you are doing my PS does not show the same exact panels and does not do what yours does, is there some way to reset PS back to factory defaults?
Yes, hold down alt+Shift+Ctrl while launching photoshop. You might lose any custom presets though, so back those up first.
Fantastic Tutorial!! Thank you!
The reverse works! I was getting a black mass in the middle of my picture before. Thank you!!
Great video but why can’t I select the round circle gradient creator?
BRILLIANT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Very useful indeed. Great tutorial
Great little tip.. thank once again for your continued passion and great content… 👍

I'm not using the beta here but the shipping version
I am using Windows and Photoshop beta, and all is working ok for me. Note the new comment from photoshopCAFE about making sure Reverse is checked.
Wow really cool, thanks for the info.👍👍
I've been looking for this exact thing. Something simple and easy to understand, even for a novice such as myself. Cheers !
Glad to help, I like to keep my tuts simple when I can
Yes, it was very helpful.

Excellent tutorial as usual Colin, can this be done in CS6?
Thank you for the expertise 🙂
Super, It goes pretty fast for me because I speak Dutch. But after a few repetitions it works out nicely.👍😍

Good one Colin! I was not aware that you couldn’t edit an image which has been rasterized and saved.
You can, just not gradients in masks
nice video
Fine. Thank u sir
I wish there were some way of it remaining live after closing the doc. Does working on smart objects make a difference?
Colin thank you so much for this. I have been looking for something like this where I can put my butterflies. Only thing is I have no flying butterflies! There is so much to learn and so little time when you get old......

Thank you very much for that great and useful tips! I'll try it soon!

Question re gradients being baked in on closing file: does it remain editable if layer is converted to Smart Object?
Brilliant
Thanks 🙏
Great tutorial…
Excellent 👍🏽

Hello. which layer should i stand on before doing gradient.
I can't get anything out, on my photo at the bottom layer

Foreground white sounds right.
