'BOOM' Aarons new word! Great tutorial as always
So loved your spaniel. We've had 5 of them at various times and looking at yours has made me broody all over again.
very helpful and simple
I didn't expect anything new and then the gradient noise into light rays, fantastic.
Loving that light ray technique.
I just didn't know that there was so many ways to use gradients. Thank you
Simply fantastic! Thanks, Aaron.
This tutorial is sooooooo good, I'm speechless. Bookmarked it. I use pastel gradient map and then blend it to soft light with reduced opacity. It gives nice pinkish tone to the image
Thank you dude! I love the tutorial!!
Blew my mind with the light rays from the gradient
I wanted to watch your pro tutorial about gradients. I will watch this and then the pro tutorial :)

Btw do you find these cool techniques yourself? I can't get how do even one think about doing something like this

@@phlearn It was so good! I will definitely buy a PHLEARN pro subscription someday!
Poppies seeds. Thank you for your professional work.
Liked and subscribed. Thank you for sharing.

Great video.
I wish I could like more than once👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you
I use Gradients all the time. And they look fine. But let me tell you. I have not been using them anywhere NEAR as creatively as I could have been!! Thank you! 🙏
Aaron... When ever I "air drop" a finished image from my mac to my iPhone it always seems to transfer much more darker then what is shown on my computer monitor. Ive checked all the brightness settings on my phone as well.. any recommendations ?? thank you ... Your channel rocks!!
I use cheap lenses and get sun glow natural way :) Thanks for sharing ideas anyway!
insane
Hi Aaron thank you so much for these tips.. how to remove banding from a radial gradient ?(dither sometimes didn’t work) Gaussian blur? Thank you ☺️
Lightrays is my favorite trick
I mostly use gradients to adjust light balance in a photo that will have text over it, ensuring better text-and-background contrast.
Aaron, will you be doing any videos about Photoshop Camera for mobile devices?
I love it! Thank you! By the way... those aren’t blueberries. That’s opium buds. 😂
poppy pods
The last gradient is awesome. Is there a way of changing the color of the light ray,,,.i.e. the color to represent the golden hour?
nice
One of my favert gradient tricks is to use it on a blur layer to fake depth of field
You made a great presetation which was very informative for me. However, you showed many gradient presets in your Gradient Editor Menu and I had the impression that they were coing fromAdobe and installed by you. In my Photoshop 2021 version, the list of Gradient presets is limited and does not include for expl SunFlare. Can you tell me how to incorporate these gradient presets in my Gradient EditorMenu ?
Hi! Can i colour the rays? thanks a lot.
Hey there!! Is it possible to make the noise gradient tinier, so it doesn´t take place in the entire picture?
With the plant stems, I used the magic wand tool with tolerance decrease and, it got everything. But, when I applied gradient adj layer, my steps didn't look so hot - not smooth like yours. Any advice?
I don't understand why after clicking on the gradient fill box, then clicking on the color scale, I don't get the big window called Gradient Editor with the wide selection of color choices? My PH 2023 is up to date. Thanks
No beard finally looking good man
When I turn my group of layers into smart object, the point of the angle, which I had originally in the middle, goes to the left upper corner instead of staying in the middle. No idea how to fix this. Can anyone help?
How would i add color to tge light rays for sunlight colors of sunrise or sunset
As someone studying B@W minmalistic lanscapes I am really annoyed i haven't been shown this. Thank you .
hey Aaron..my color button is `grayed out`..any ideas ?
Cheers Mark
Please may you help me. Using the gradient tool how would I add color to it? Ie.... if making sunrays and I wanted to add a slight yellow hue behind it..... can you tell me how to do so. It would be for my early morning scenic shot......
