Fabric folds tutorial: missing steps?!?!? a new drag of the gradient tool just overwrites the last step. how do you get multiple gradients??
February 26th, 2009
Karen,
You’d have to ask the tutorial author… Have you tried using multiple layers? If you’re on the same layer it will just go over top of the last gradient.
