    Make A Simple Gradient Using The Background And Foreground Colours?

    Ian R. Brown Community Member

      I find it embarrassing to ask such a simple question but it's a year since I did it and my memory has gone blank!!!!

       

      I know how to use the Gradient Editor but I used to be able to make instant gradients based on the Foreground and Background colours near the bottom of the toollbar down the left side of the desktop.

       

      I simply dragged down the image and a gradient appeared from top to bottom . . . . .

       

      Now I can only make a gradient by selecting one of the presets or creating a new one in the Gradient Editor.

       

      How did I do it originally?
