Backlit Portrait – Full Edit
Hi, you are doing a radial filter with a gradient cream / black in it, but when I do that, the effect of the gradient is outside the radial?
how is that possible?
Hmm… you mean the gradient that I made from one of the tools on the left hand side? I don’t actually do it like this any more, since you can’t easily change the colour, size, etc of the effect doing it that way… But possibly I used an eliptical selection tool then dragged the gradient inside the shape I’d made and that sets the mask already to “contain” the gradient?
hi, it is true you used that tool, but when I do, the gradient does not fall into the shape?
If it goes outside instead of inside then you need to invert the mask with cmd or crtl + i
