Hey did you know you can create custom circles, kind of like concentric circles, or squares using your gradient tool?

I would too, but I'm 99% certain we can't do that.

Ok here is how it works:
First select your gradient tool and select the blck to white gradient that is in the default panel. Then click the edit button that appears to the right of the gradient selector.
Once you have clicked edit you will have a screen that looks somewhat like this:
As you can see from the above image I have added a number of black and white color stops to the gradient. And I have moved them very close together. (You can get them close for a more defined edge. I didn't do it because it is hard to see in the graphic.) You can add any number of stops and the can be any color but black and white works the best if you want to add transparency using layer modes like multiply.
Once you have done that click Ok or if you want to use it again click save and save it as a custom gradient.
Back in your document you can now use it to create circles, squares or straight lines.
To change the shape of your gradient use the gradient shape selectors to the right of the edit button in the tool bar.
This comes in real handy, give it a shot!

No PSE can not type on a path. You can warp your type to some preset shapes but you can not type on a path.MamaK321 wrote: okay, that is cool!!

I'm sorry I must be dense. Once I have made my custom gradient, *how* do I draw a circle with it?

Once you say ok the editor will close and then you just drag your gradient out on your canvas.ICanHasCherryOnTop wrote: I'm sorry I must be dense. Once I have made my custom gradient, *how* do I draw a circle with it?
You will have to select the radial gradient (second one from the left) in the gradient shape selector to the right of the edit button.
