Creates a grayscale gradient, coloring each pixel based on its distance from the edge of the layer. Distance fields are primarily useful as an intermediary step to creating various other effects, rather than being used on their own as an end result.
- Mode: Select the mode that will be used to generate the gradient
- Inner Distance: The edge of the layer is black, and the gradient extends into the layer, to the width of the radius.
- Outer Distance: The edge of the layer is black, and the gradient extends outward from the layer, to the width of the radius.
- Edge Distance: The edge of the layer is black, and the gradient extends in both directions, to the width of the radius.
- Signed Distance: The edge of the layer is mid-gray, and the gradient extends to white inside the layer, and to black outside the layer.
- Radius: Defines the width of the gradient in pixels. Everything farther from the edge than the selected radius will be pure white (or pure black, if the effect is inverted)
- Invert: Swaps the black and white ends of the gradient, to invert the grayscale map.
