This was so useful, Colin. I have a question. When you are doing a tutorial, you are able to label the layers whatever you want, I don’t seem to have that option. Is there a setting I have to turn on to allow the labelling to occur?
Amazing as usual, thank you!
Wonderful tutorial
Thanks
THANKS COLIN!!!!! Really beautiful effect. It really saves a lot of time with the gradient effect. Once again, you did it big guy!!!!!
Excellent tutorial. It will take me awhile to memorize the order of things, but I sure am looking forward to seeing the results. Thank you.
Thanks Colin for another great video. What training Video of yours best provides an in depth treatment of the various Photoshop Adjustments? Every time I watch one of your 15 minute free videos I learn about new, to me, functions. I would like to purchase an in depth Video of yours that encompasses all or most of the Adjustments.
Colin, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I learn a little something every time I watch one of your tutorials. A lot of emails I receive, I end up removing, but, yours always gives something new to learn. Thank you!

Wow, this is a much needed tutorial! I’ve been weak on gradients – of the power of knowing cool things! Thanks Colin. You’re the best!
