how do i make a gradient on adobe photoshop cs?
under a layer (not over it) without trying to cover the
image with the gradient color picked.. im using adobe photoshop cs on via mac. thanks.
photoshop should be the same on either os, you would create a layer, select gradient tool, then select options for gradient, what im missing is that a gradient uses colors to go from one to another, or half transparent, but you say not to cover image, so is that to be the background, if so, you would put the image on top of gradient, but then you would not see gradient unless image was partly transparent, either way, transperency would be used,

select the image, invert the selection, use the gradient tool.
you'll get a gradient all over the layer but not on your image.
is that what you want?
