Hello All,

First, thank you for taking the time to look at this.

My gradient editor is missing key settings including: stops, presets, gradient type, name and smoothness settings. It used to work just fine and then one day all of those settings disappeared and now I’m left with a gradient editor box that doesn’t allow me to edit anything. I apologize if I’m not using the correct terms, I’m a newbie. Please help me get it back! Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to PSG.

You need to reset your preferences.

This is how to reset your preferences in Photoshop: Press-and-hold Command-Option-Shift on a Mac or Ctrl-Alt-Shift on a PC, while you start Photoshop, you will get a pop-up dialog asking you if you would like to delete the settings file. Click yes. Deleting the file will create a new set of preferences from scratch.

Your answer was spot on. All I did was re-set my preferences and bingo! This has been driving me bonkers so thank you so very much for the advice. You're the best.
