3. To choose a preset or to edit the fill's colors and/or transparency values,
click the color sample on the Context toolbar.
The Gradient dialog appears, where you can select a preset fill from the
default gallery or right-click and choose a fill from different pre-defined
categories (e.g., Blues, Greens, etc.). The right-click menu also lets you add,
edit or delete categories; items can also be added (or deleted) when a
custom fill is created in the fill spectrum. See PhotoPlus help for details on
how to edit gradient fills.
4. (Optional) Check Reverse to swap the direction of your chosen fill.
5. (Optional) Uncheck Transparency if you don't want transparency (if
present) in your chosen gradient fill to be preserved; otherwise, the fill's
transparency is maintained when the fill is applied.
6. Once you've defined the fill, click with the tool where you want to start the
fill and drag to the point where you want it to end.
To change a text or shape layer’s fill type, or edit its color(s):
Double-click the text/shape layer (or right-click and choose Edit Fill...).
OR
Choose the Gradient Fill Tool and use the Context toolbar.
Either option lets you choose a fill type, and/or click the color (or gradient)
sample to edit the fill.
On text or shape layers, the fill path (the line in the illustration above) remains
visible even after you’ve applied the fill, and you can adjust the fill’s placement
after the fact by dragging the fill path’s end nodes with the Gradient Fill Tool.
