What does the Gradient Blend effect change?

Gradient Blend combines image layers with the named tonal relationship, exposing useful interactions between highlights, shadows, color, and transparency. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with Gradient Blend?

Choose Gradient Blend for framed portraits prepared for sharing, social-media carousels and covers, or album art and magazine-style layouts when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains sources with essential content at every edge, unreadably small text, or mixed images whose aspect ratios cannot support the selected layout.
