How to add a gradient to a piece of text or an image in Adobe Photoshop

Today I will show you how to add a gradient to a piece of text or an image in Adobe Photoshop.


First you need to select the text you want to add the gradient to, and right click the text layer.

Choose Blending Options in the new popup menu, and after that, choose Gradient overlay.

If you double click on the gradient bar, you can change the gradient colors to whatever you want.
Click OK when you are done.

You can also add a gradient to an image, so just open an image, but make sure you duplicate the image layer first, because the first layer is locked.

So right click on the layer and choose duplicate layer. Give your layer a new name if you want, and click, OK.

All you have to do now, is repeat the same steps as you did with the text example. But for the blend mode, choose Multiply.

That’s all there is to it! We hope you like the video!
