How do I change the gradient so my background colour goes from dark to light?

I am a relative newbie to PSE. If have tried adding a gradient to my background colour but I have noticeable lines. I need it to go from dark to light from left to right.
Can anyone help me?
Mike

Hi Mike
You use the gradient tool (foreground to background color)
e.g set colors to black/white at bottom of tool pallet
Select gradient tool and set mode to lighten
Click on top of your image and drag down to the bottom (holding the shift key whilst dragging ensures a vertical line)
Then release the mouse.

    How do we change the Yosemite lock-screen background?
    Would like it to match our desktop.
    At present, lock-screen appears to be a blurred version of one of the standard Yosemite desktops.

    It typically uses your Screen Saver definition in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver tab.
    Or I'm misunderstanding the question...

  • How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

    How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

    When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
    When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
    So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
    When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
    You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
    Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

  • How do I change the format of my 5th Generation iPod from Windows to Mac

    How do I change the format of my 5th Gen iPod from a Windows format to the Mac?

    But this will delete all the songs I have? I have a lot of them on my iPod classic
    Yes.
    I want to transfer (well copy) all my songs from the iPod to itunes on the mac - and then have the itunes library as being placed on the external drive. The last part I think I know, but I can't work out how to copy music from my iPod
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Then see here about backing your iTunes library onto an external hard drive.

  • How do you change the click box properties (line colour and width) in Captivate 7.0?

    How do you change the click box properties (line colour and width) in Captivate 7.0?

    Yes certainly, we can do that, insert a smart shape and use it as a button, then go to the properties pane, change the Alpha to 0, that will make it transparent, and add the stroke color as red and increase the width.
    In case of a button, you have to select button type as transparent and do the same.
    Thanks.

  • How do I change the Gradient in the Artwork and Effect Text tool

    How do I change the colors used in the gradient under the Artwork and Effects Text Tool? It always comes green and blue and I dont know how to change it.

    Gradient usually picks up the foreground & background colors from the chips in the tool bar, but that is for the default gradients. Sounds like you have one of the pre-set gradients selected in the drop down list in the gradient options bar. Select the gradient tool, then look in the options bar at the top of the screen. The second item from the left, if I remember correctly, is a drop down list of various gradient possibilities. Select the top left gradient sample for the foreground to background gradient.

    Call your voicemail access phone number and go to settings. There is an option for that.

  • How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

    I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

  • How can I change the coding of a background image?

    I am close to successfully uploading my first website. My one remaining issue: one of my pages isn't showing properly. When I called my hosting service, they tell me that there is an error in the coding of the background image.
    It is currently:
    http://cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs__files/backgroundimage1.png
    There is an extra underscore between "Us_files". It should be:
    http://cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs_files/backgroundimage1.png
    but I have no idea how to change the coding in iWeb. Any ideas?
    Here's the full URL for the page: http://cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs.html

    Thanks! That worked and was a fairly simple pick. Thanks for saving me hours!
    I almost have it fixed. One small remaining problem:
    My link to the "Contact Us" page isn't working from the top Nav bar. That's the one that is in the iWeb template I used. It's linking to:
    http://www.cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/ContactUs.html
    which doesn't exist.
    The nav bar at the bottom link to:
    http://www.cashmerepersonalconcierge.com/Contact_Us.html
    which works.
    Once again I see the extra space/underscore is the problem, but I can't figure out how to get to it. I resaved my folders and re-uploaed the "Contact_Us.html" page as well as all my other html pages to troubleshoot.
    Thanks!!

  • How do you change the first letter of a new line from uppercase to lowercase?

    In filling in case sensitive id's and passwords, the iPad automatically capitalizes the first letter---how do you change to lower case?

    You can shut off Auto Capitalization in the settings to prevent that from happening.  Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Auto Capitalization>Off.
    You can change to lower case manually by tapping the "black X icon in the arrow" in the upper right corner of the keyboard to delete the capital letter and then type in the lower case letter.

  • How do I change the double-sided print setting when printing from a website

    I used to know how to change my printer settings when I used a PC but now that I'm using a Mac it's a completely different story.  Usually when I print I'm given a print preview screen where I can make choices how to print but some websites just send materials directly to the printer without providing me with a print preview screen so I can change the settings, for example, disabling the double sided feature.  Can anyone provide me with simple directions how to correct this issue?  I have a MacBook Pro & am printing to an Epson WF-3540.  I'm now very computer literate unfortunately.  Appreciate any suggestions, especially those that are fairly simple.  Thanks so much

    Usually when I print I'm given a print preview screen where I can make choices how to print but some websites just send materials directly to the printer without providing me with a print preview screen so I can change the settings,
    I cannot identify with what you are saying, as this has never happened to me.
    This is a print preview dialog box, in its expanded state. The document it is about to print is the print dialog box, in its non-expanded state. The red arrow points to the control.
    Once expanded, there are several screens full of options you can choose from. They are under the pop-up labeled [ Preview ] on this example.
