The Gradient Tool
If you want to apply a gradient to an object in your image, the Gradient tool is the fastest
way to go. This tool seems complicated at first, but it's actually easy to use.
Figure 13-19
shows its Tool Options settings.
Using the Gradient tool is as easy as dragging: Click where you want the gradient to begin,
and then drag to the point where you want it to stop (you'll see a line connecting the begin-
ning and ending points). When you release the mouse button, the gradient covers the avail-
able space. (You'll get a more detailed tutorial on using this tool in a moment.)
