Photoshop provides five types of gradients which are as follow:
Linear Gradient Radial Gradient Angular Gradient Reflected Gradient Diamond Gradient
Paint Bucket Tool
The Paint Bucket Tool in Photoshop fills adjacent pixels that are similar in colour in the image. It fills
with either the selected foreground colours or with a pattern. If the image has flat colours, then
there will not be any issues while filling colours. But if the image is complex and has a lot of colours,
then paint bucket tool will not be of much use.
Follow the below steps to use the Paint Bucket Tool:
Step 1: Create a new document or image with similar colour or pattern.
Step 2: Select the Paint Bucket Tool from the Tools panel.
Step 3: Select a mode from the Mode drop-down list in the Options bar. In this case, we have
selected Linear Burn mode.
Step 4: Set the Tolerance value in the Options bar. The Tolerance value directly affects the pixels to
be filled with colour. A low Tolerance means only very similar color pixels will be affected and
high Tolerance means more pixels will be affected. The range of Tolerance is 0 to 255. If the
Contiguous option is checked, only pixels that are connected to the original pixel are filled.
Step 5: Select the desired foreground colour and click on the image. The similar colour pixels are
changed.
Original image Tolerance-18 Tolerance-65
Eyedropper Tool
Eyedropper Tool lets you change the foreground or background colors by lifting them from the
image. It helps when you want to use an existing color in the image for another element. To use the
Eyedropper Tool, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open the image in Photoshop from which
you want to take colour.
