I know this may sound like I'm a total newbie on PSE 12, but where do I find the gradient/blending tool? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Where am I supposed to look? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Maghdalena

Hi Maghdalena,
The Gradient tool is in the Draw category in the Tools panel. Shortcut = G.

where do I find the gradient/blending tool? I think you got good info from Sepiana , but I wonder what you might be meaning by blending. If there is still some unanswered question, please post again! |

Yeah, I found it, thanks. As to the "Blending" I saw something about that on a video on making an outro in Photoshop CS6, so I thought it was the same thing. Oops. I checked Elements, and there is is. Thanks a lot, both of you! Save |

I may be wrong and, if I am, Maghdalena is free to correct me but I think this is what she means. The Gradient tool is sometimes referred to as the "blending" tool. Why? Because, when combined with layer masks, this tool allows you to create composite images which are natural-looking. i.e., it allows you to blend two separate images into one in a seamlessly way.

You are not too far off. The official name of this tool is "Gradient" but throughout the literature you will also find it referred to as the "Blending" tool because of its role in creating composite images. See my explanation earlier in this thread.
