Try to Blend In

In some ways this technique is easier and looks nicer than the Illustrator technique.




Short version, details to follow:
1.find the two palettes you want to use and arrange them in photoshop with one on the top and one on the bottom. put them both on the same layer with space in between.
2. make a selection for the first blend. There are several ways you could do this. I use the Magic Wand tool on the two rectangles of color then the Polygonal Lasso tool to add the connection.
3. select one color as your foreground color and the other as your background color
4. make a new layer and fill the selection with a gradient of your two colors.
5. repeat, placing each blend on its own layer.
6. I can't seem to make a perfect selection and there is space inbetween each blend. I select each layer and nudge it to the left until the space is gone.
7. Voila! That was easy, wasn't it?

this looks amazing & pretty simple I should have no problem doing one in Gimp. Can't wait to show you what I come up with =)

Yay! The more the merrier :)

I'm sad I don't have either of those programs, I have a Windows XP. I liked Photoshop when my work initially had it, possibly the first edition Photoshop, I thought it was amazing, at that time! So, I am playing catch up!
