Knowing how to Edit a Photoshop Template Gradient Layer Style is important, because many Photoshop Templates uses gradient layer effects for lighting, shading, background color and more. A gradient is basically a transition of one color to another. In this Photoshop tutorial, you will learn how to edit a Gradient Layer Style (Effect) that is in a Photoshop Template.
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.
Then Click The Gradient to bring up the “Gradient Editor” panelÂ
 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.
