: How can I create this gradient in photoshop? I want to create a radar like the one bellow, where the gradient goes darker and darker clockwise. in the left it is totally transparent, while in

@Gail6891361

Create a rectangular document.

Make a gradient dark grey (not black) to white, from left to right.

Select the bottom 1/3 of the document, and clear to white. You should have a layer with a gradient as the top 2/3 and white on the bottom 1/3.

Filter->distort->polar coordinates.

select all, Invert colors, and use resultant layer with setting "lighten only"

Draw a circular marquee
Drag guidelines over the horizontal midpoint and vertical midpoint
Create an "Angle Gradient" using Black to Transparent starting at the center you now have.
Adjust opacity so that the darkest side is how you want it
Use a soft eraser at a very large size compared to the image and lightly erase outside of the "lighter" side of the gradient
Add a yellowish line over the hard angle with some blur to it


If you're not after that yellowish line with the blur on it then just go in and smooth it out with brush and eraser.
