Hold down the to constrain the angle of the gradient path to 45°.


This is important when transforming two-dimensional objects onto an isometric grid plane as the gradient will also be intelligently transformed. When you scale or shear an object with a linear, radial or conical gradient applied, the gradient will reapply itself to fit the modified object's new shape.

You can also apply a gradient to pixel layers, adjustment layers and layer masks using the Fill Tool. (From left to right) Elliptical, Radial, Linear, Conical, and Bitmap fill types applied to a basic shape. This should be done with no handles selected. If needed, you can precisely define the fill path via the color swatch on the tool's context toolbar. You can also apply a more complex gradient via a Gradient Editor. The created fill path can be edited directly on the object to introduce more than two colors along the gradient path, introduce opacity, reposition added colors or control color transitions.

The Fill Tool lets you draw a simple color gradient, solid or bitmap fill across your object.
