Step Six:
Once you're back at the Gradient Editor, and your color stop is now gray, you can drag that
middle gray stop around to adjust the tone of your image (as shown here). What's weird is
you drag the opposite way that the gradient shows. For example, to darken the photo, you
drag to the right, toward the white end of the gradient, and to lighten the photo, you drag
left toward the dark end. Freaky, I know. One other thing: unlike almost every other slider
in all of Photoshop, as you drag that color stop, you do not get a live preview of what's
happening—you have to release the mouse button and then it shows you the results of your
dragging. Click OK, and you're done.
