Hi, Anyone knows how to make circular gradients? (I dont mean Radial Gradients)
Circular, like a gradient bar rolled and created as a circle.
It's for animate like an arrow rotating for a loading button.
Thanks

hmm, i would try to make square gradient from the lower left to upper right corners, cutting the slice and masking it at 45º in a middle layer of a circular object, like
layer1= black
layer2 = grad slice at 45º
layer3 = whiteam i making any sense?

draw a long thin box:
fill it with a gradient.
image>expand the gradient to however many levels you need to keep it smooth,
drag that artwork into the brushes palette, and select "New Artbrush"
now draw a circle and set that brush as your stroke. voila.
this is in illustrator BTW.

Sounds like a job for the mesh gradient tool in Illustrator or just a the airbrush in photoshop if you're careful. I'm understanding you right.

It all depends on what you need it for.
polar coordinates filter will do it too.

If I understand you correctly, you should try the 'angle gradient'-tool... and then cut out the circle...
Got it? :-)

do a linear graident fill to layer 1 with the colors you want, and then filter > distort > polar coordinates.
