curving a gradient

[thomast]

Hi there,
I am trying to draw someone peeking through blinds. The blinds all have a gradient from top to bottom, white to grey. One blind is bend up in the middle. How do I make the gradient bend up, following the shape of the blind?

thanks!
Thomas

depends on what version of photoshop you have. If you have one that you has the ability to warp it should be easy. Just cut and paste that one blind onto its own layer and then press Ctrl + t to free transform the layer. Then right click the blind and choose warp from the menu that comes up. After that you just trial and error a few things. Best of luck!
