View Full Version : Photoshop: How do you confine a circular gradient to a narrow band?

I'm trying to recreate the Looney Tunes "bullseye (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7c/Looney_Tunes.png)" logo in Photoshop. I have been using multiple layers and stacking progressively larger rings to get the layered effect. I've tried using a circular gradient, but I need a way to confine the color range to just the narrow band for each particular ring otherwise the color change is nearly imperceptible by the time it gets to the edge.

Anyone know how to do this? And am I making any sense?

You can click on the gradient tool and then up in the corner on the settings for the gradient. Sorry - I don't have photoshop on this laptap to be more specific. But you can change the colors of the gradient and add in more bands. Clicking and dragging them changes how narrow or wide the band is. To do that, you would have to create a bunch of the bands in the circular gradient or stack layers.

Or is that what you meant you already did?

Although you could create on layer and duplicate it and shrink it down... but then the band width would also shrink so that may not work.

Ah ha! Adding bands did the trick. Thank you Betty! :)
