How to Edit Photoshop Template Gradient Layer Style
Open your layer palette and find the layer that has a gradient layer style applied to it. In this case the layer is named ‘Gradient Overlay” – this layer has a gradient overlay effect on it that you will need to edit in order to change the gradient color. This template has a black to purple gradient. We will be changing the Purple to Blue.
Click the small arrow that is pointing down on the right of the ‘Gradient Overlay” layer, then double click the gradient overlay effect to bring up the “Layer Style” Panel.
Click on the “Color Stop” for the gradient color you want to edit (The middle color stop is for the Purple)
Click the Color Box to Bring up the ‘Color Picker” for the Color Stop
Choose the color you want with the “Color Picker” – in this case we will be choosing a blue.
You can then Click “OK” to save the settings on each panel to apply your color change.
Now that we have absorbed the basic technique of editing Photoshop gradients contained in a template, you can use the steps to edit other Layer Effects.
