How to Use Custom Gradients in Photo Editing for Stunning Results
Color gradients add a modern and refined aesthetic to the age-old practice of photo coloring. Gradients, which are also called color transitions, are color combinations in which one color gradually fades into another and can include any number of colors. Gradients can add style and elegance to a photograph that it would not have otherwise. The Custom gradient feature of the MyZesty app allows you to create a gradient overlay for your images.
What is a gradient?
The term “gradient” refers to a gradual, smooth transition from one color to another. Gradients are created by adding two or more colors onto a photo in such a way that their hues change gradually from one to the next. When editing photos, using gradients can make them more engaging and eye-catching. Rather than using a single solid color throughout the image, a gradient can be used to create a smoother, more natural transition between colors in a photo. Gradients are a fantastic way to add some pizzazz to an otherwise dull image. Gradient images are always more eye-catching and visually stunning because of the way they bring photos to life with their unique color blend.
Why gradient?
In recent years, gradients have become an integral part of the image editing process, and their absence would be greatly felt. Nowadays, gradients are commonly used because of the emotional response they elicit in the user. By blending colors together, gradients allow people to make something that stands out from the norm.
Gradients can be seen all over nature. As you can see in the leaves and fruit, it is natural for colors to gradually fade from one color to another. Gradients allow people to create something unique by blending colors. People can create a new range of colors that did not previously exist by combining different colors, giving their images a distinct and aesthetic look. There’s a lot of room for creativity, and the possibilities for new ideas are practically limitless.
How to create a gradient using MyZesty?
The use of different color tones is, of course, the foundation for creating beautiful gradients. Most apps only offer a few pre-made gradient templates in a limited color palette. MyZesty’s Custom tool, on the other hand, allows you to use any color you want to create your own custom gradient. You can create your own filters in MyZesty, which are referred to as “Custom” presets (You can learn more about Presets here). You can save your customized edits as a preset and use them on other photos at any time. It is simple to create a personalized preset with MyZesty. If you follow these steps, you’ll be able to create and save your own custom presets.
