- Preset: Several predefined configurations are provided in this menu for your use.
- Start Point: Use these controls to define the location of the start point of the gradient.
- Position: Sets the location for the start point, using X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) values.
- Use Layer: Select another layer from the timeline using this menu, to use the selected layer’s position to control the position of the start point. When a layer is selected, the Position property above functions as an offset from the parent layer’s position.
- End Point: Use these controls to define the location of the end point of the gradient.
- Position: Sets the location for the end point, using X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) values.
- Use Layer: Select another layer from the timeline using this menu, to use the selected layer’s position to control the position of the end point. When a layer is selected, the Position property above functions as an offset from the parent layer’s position.
- Start Color: Choose a start color for the gradient. You can use the eyedropper to choose a color from the layer, or click the swatch to open a color picker and choose any color you prefer. You can also manually enter the color values for the red, green, and blue channels.
- End Color: Choose an end color for the gradient. You can use the eyedropper to choose a color from the layer, or click the swatch to open a color picker and choose any color you prefer. You can also manually enter the color values for the red, green, and blue channels.
- Radial: Enable this option to switch from a linear gradient to a radial gradient.
- Ramp Scatter: Adds subtle noise into the gradient areas between colors, which can help to improve naturalness.
- Opacity: Changes the overall visibility of the gradient effect. 0.0% is completely transparent, and 100.0% is completely opaque.
- Blend: Select the blend mode used to combine the gradient with the contents of the layer to which it is applied.
