About this tutorial
The Gradient Map in Photoshop maps one color to the highlights and another to the shadows, usually with a gradient fading in-between the two and mapping the midtones accordingly. This Gry Garness tutorial, Using Gradient Map in Photoshop, demonstrates its use for 3 different purposes – to reduce contrast, to boost contrast while controlling the effect on mid tones, and finally to achieve a creative and contemporary colour effect with a split tone (giving the highlights one hue and the shadows another). The tutorial shows how to edit the points and design your own gradient. You’ll learn how to control the Gradient Map to achieve your own effects.
