I want to create a gradient fill, top to bottom of some text.
To do this, I'm creating my text in a solid colour (can't seem to find a gradient fill on the text tool), then wand selecting the background inverting the selection then applying a gradient.
Unfortunately, applying the fill seems to make the text lose all smoothness (anti-aliasing?).
I've tried feathering (using Boltbait) but even at 1 it's too aggressive and the text ends up too skinny.
Any suggestions to maintain the anti-aliasing but also have a gradient much appreciated
