How do you make gradient in Photoshop?

[Shahed]

Like this picture?



With Paint.NET, I can just put two pictures, then drag a line, and it's done.

With Adobe Photoshop CS2, I simply have no idea how to do that. Dragging a gradient line simply can't "remove" part of the picture, at best I can only place another "gradient color" on top of it. I've been Googling for Gradient tutorial too, but none explain what I needed. I know this sound silly, but I have never figured out how to do that in Photoshop

Anyone have any idea?

Have a look at this tutorial, you can see the use of a gradient image here. This tut shows how to do it:

Crypels Tutorial

It is finally released! Before I give you the links some things I want to say. All I do is to show you how I work with the tools Photoshop offers. You decide yourself what things can be useful for your work, I don't want to force anyone to work like I do. There are thousands of other ways to do this. Also I hope this will bring you more enjoyment of digital imaging to you and I hope not to see just copies of my style, but lots of different works. If you want to, you can mention in your "credits" that my tutorial was helpful for you.

So here is the download link

Youtube coming soon

This version is 42 MB, I couldn't achieve the quality/file size I want, but I think Photoshop users should see what I am doing. If anyone wants the full quality version of 900 MB I could upload it as well.

So, have fun!

Ah and btw I used to paint/play Warhammer too for a while.
