- 1). Open Photoshop, then click "File" and "Open." Browse through your files and select the file you'd like to edit. Click "Open" to confirm.
- 2). Choose "Create new fill or adjustment layer" from the "Layers" panel; the icon is a circle filled half with black and half with white. Select "Hue/Saturation" from the options that appear. Drag the "Saturation" slider all the way to the left so that the value equals "-100."
- 3). Click "Create new layer" in the "Layers" panel; the icon looks like a piece of paper with a bent corner. Drag the new layer to the top in the "Layers" panel if it does not appear there. Use the first drop-down menu in the "Layers" panel to change the blending mode for the layer. Choose "Color."
- 4). Select the "Gradient" tool from the "Tools" panel. Click the gradient sample displayed in the "Options" bar to edit the gradient colors. Choose the preset option "Spectrum" from the "Gradient Editor" menu, then click "OK."
- 5). Click on the image where you want the gradient to begin. Drag your mouse to your desired end point, releasing there.
