Gradient Canvas

Create a smooth color transition between two colors

Overview

The Gradient Canvas node creates a linear gradient that smoothly transitions between two colors at a specified angle. Perfect for creating backgrounds, overlays, and visual depth in your compositions.

Usage Tips

• Use 0 degrees for horizontal gradients (left to right)
• Use 90 degrees for vertical gradients (top to bottom)
• Create sunset effects with orange (#FFA500) to purple (#800080)
• Subtle gradients work well as photo backgrounds - try similar colors

Common Pairings

• Merge - Blend gradients with photos for atmospheric effects
• Text - Place text on gradient backgrounds for visual interest
• Mask - Use gradients as masks for fade effects

Gotchas

• The gradient angle wraps at 360 degrees
• For radial gradients, consider using the Ellipse node with transparency instead
