In the developer's words
Create stunning gradients either by hand or by using the colors from an image. Photo gradient makes it easy to grab the colors of a photo and turn it into a mesh gradient to use in your designs.
- Open the plugin
- Either upload/paste an image after hitting image icon
- OR select a frame/image with the target icon to use something already on your canvas
- Adjust the color placement
- Then play with the noise, warp, and color placements.
I was tired of gradient tools that weren't fun to use so I built one that others can use for free.
It's also available on the web at photogradient.com
