I would like to create a background that begins with one color and gradually changes to a lighter color similar to the home page of www.platowoodwork.com. This type of background is on both the side panel and main panel of the page. I am not looking for textures or vertical or horizontal lines. Just a simple gradient.
Here is what’s happening. I get the effect that I want in Photoshop. Everything looks fine but then when I bring it into ImageReady to export it to a gif or jpg file, I see lines and colors that I dont want and didnt see in Photoshop. What should I do?
These are the steps I took in Photoshop to create a similar effect to www.platowoodworks.com.
1. File > New
Width: 400 Pixels, Height: 600 Pixels, Resolution: 72, Mode: RGB, Contents: White
2. In layers window, select create a new layer
3. In toolbar set foreground to #EFAE7B, set background to #FFFFFF
4. On Layers palette select Create new fill or adjustment layer select gradient
5. Select foreground to background gradient, Style: linear, Angle: 90, Scale: 100, Check Dither, Check Align with layer
From Photoshop, I can save it as say Plato.psd. When I reopen the file, everything looks fine but as soon as I go into ImageReady I see lines and colors that should not be there. Essentially, the colors are being separated out rather than blending into one another.
I tried saving the gradient to jpg with a maximum setting and it has not helped.
This is what I see in Photoshop.
