KPT Gradient Lab
Design complex color blends and gradients by mixing shapes and colors in multiple layers with advanced blending and precise positioning.


Here you can see the control panels for gradient lab. The pattern in the preview was created from the intricate blending of the three layered gradients shown in the layers panel. You can control the gradient shape, color, transparency, and blending. Multiple gradient layers can be stacked, blended, and positioned for infinite variety.


This began as a preset and was modified by changing the gradient colors. There are more layers than those shown here. The layer panel can be scrolled up and down to work with them all. The buttons on the preview panel allow you to sample colors right within the preview. The sampled colors replace the colors in your selected gradient.


This began as another preset and then the hue of the two gradient layers was adjusted. The pattern you see showing through the green bars is from my original source image. There are 17 blending modes and 13 shape styles that can be applied to your gradients.
