PS CS2 - Gradient seam issue.

211 views2 repliesLast post: 5/5/2006
I've run into a strange problem with Photoshop CS2 via of the Production Studio version. As many of you probably do as well, I create the layout for a website ala Photoshop. I was previously using Photoshop CS, but didn't encounter this quirk.

When I try to utilize the gradient fill tool on a segment of my design, the gradient doesn't fully dissappear into the transparency. There seems to be a invisible line where the gradient 'ends', therefore altering the seamlessness of the tool's purpose.

I can send someone a screenshot to show you what I mean, but I am puzzled as to where this phenomenon came from.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that is probably has something to do with the color profile, but I don't know for sure. Any assistance ya'll can offer would be great.

Are the segments separated by non transparent pixels?

No, oddly enough, it is a clean transition between the two colors. The difference is instead of a fading gradient from one color to another, smoothly, it is like the one color switches to another color.

Analogy could be, instead of traveling across land and traveling down a slope to the next pasture, the land just cuts off at a large cliff to the next.
