Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 448 Blending gradients with the Saturation blend mode, part of Deke's Techniques.
- In this movie, we're going to take that colorful gradient…that we wrapped around a circle in the previous movie,…and we're going to reduce the saturation values…in the center of the circle, like so.…That's because this is the way the diagram works.…We're seeing the hue values. measured in degrees by the way,…wrapping around the outside of the circle,…and then we're watching the saturation values plummet,…from 100% around the perimeter of the circle…down to 0%, which is gray, here in the center of the circle.…I'm going to achieve this effect…by blending in another gradient,…using the Saturation blend mode,…which you don't use a lot in Illustrator,…or Photoshop, for that matter.…
All right, I'll go ahead and switch over…to my document so far,…and I'm going to create another gradient here…inside the Gradient panel.…If you're not seeing that panel,…then go up to the Window menu…and choose the Gradient command.…Then I'm going to switch back to the fill.…I need to fill to be active for this one.…I'm going to click in the Gradient Slider,…
