Djisves Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) I assume you mean step 2: 2- Make the same shape but a little smaller in white on a new layer and cut it leaving only the top half, then select the gradient tool and switch it too linear :LinearGradient: transparency mode :AlphaChannel: . Now right click near the bottom of the shape and drag it towards the top like in the picture, you can repeat this action a couple times until your happy with the result. The Gradient Tool will not fill anything up if it's in transparency mode. After you select the Gradient tool - linear , switch to transparency mode :AlphaChannelOnly:. For detailed documentation on the Gradient tool click here. Alternative way to "Make the same shape but a little smaller in white on a new layer" before you use the Gradient Tool: - Duplicate layer [Ctrl+Shift+D] - Invert Colours [Ctrl+Shift+I] - Use Rotate / Zoom [Ctrl+Shift+Z] and move the Zoom slider to anything between 95 and 98 (use the keyboard up and down arrow keys for finer adjustment). Keep all other fields at zero. EDIT: Quite funny result of a typo. My "Shift" in "Invert Colours" above showed up as "<No Cursing.>". I wonder what typing mistake I made!
