Is it not just dark blue to black? and change the angle slightly to the right?
Looking at your square I can maybe just about see that the blue is lighter at the top and then gets darker moving to the bottom - is that what you mean by 'linear gradient that is almost perfectly horizontal'? Anyway the movement of the colour is quite subtle / hard to identify which is what I like about it.I see a dark blue, to a minimally lighter, but still very dark blue linear gradient that is almost perfectly horizontal. No angle. Is that what everyone else is seeing?
Yeah I have done that but I still find that the gradient is kinda obvious ie you can see the start and end of the gradient tool. I wondered if there was an alternative to dragging in a straight line (like maybe a curve) but I guess not. Anyway I will keep trying...Just start your gradient tool at a different angle, rather than just straight up or down. You can start at a corner and angle to the other corner or to the middle, etc.
Re my original attachment I can see there is some kind of gradient but it is hard to say what it is (maybe because the shades of blue are close together). With eye-dropper you can see it has many shades of blue (maybe hundreds??).All I could see was mostly blue without a gradient. WhenI downloaded it into Ps, there was a slight gradation.
Ok so do you mean it is gradient picker = foreground (lighter blue) to background (darker blue), linear gradient and 'no angles' = drag gradient tool straight down from top to bottom?I sampled the two colors and made my examples. I can see a slight gradation in both Ps and the versions I uploaded on my monitor, but the difference is very subtle. I did not see any angles though.
