Gradient Maps

[CanadianBacon]

How do you make a gradient map where you can choose the two colors? I keep on seeing like purple to orange and other ones but I don't know how... :(

Any help is greatly appreciated,

what do you use ps or gimp?

[lokifeyson]

gradient maps can be found on the layer palette in photoshop :)

to change the color click on the gradient picture, then click on the little color stops at the bottom, then pic the color you want :)

I use Photoshop CS3 Extended.

Can I make a gradient with two colors or can it only be one?

>>You can use as many colors as you want. TO make more colors you have to click and drag away from a little arrow thingy and it'll give you a new one to work with.

Thanks a lot guys, I guess now it'll just be up to me to mess around with them to get the desired result.

I feel like I got a LITTLE bit smarter lol :D

Im not sure how to choose the two colors that I would want my gradient map to transition to... :(

oke for choosing ur own colors, just set the foreground and background color to choice of your colors, then use the fg to bg gradient or just click on one of the default gradients, and then edit their color
