    Hi Manish. You can do them a couple of ways. One is to use the Colorama effect which allows you to set transparency on a gradient – but it might take a while to understand the effect if you haven’t used it before.

    Or you can use the Gradient Fill or Gradient Stroke when creating a Shape Layer:
    Twirl open the shape layer, then Contents/Gradient Stroke or Gradient Fill then Start Point
    A guide line will appear near your shape with two ends (sometimes difficult to see) drag the ends so that it is the length of the shape you want to fill – this sets the beginning and end of gradient.
    Colours/Edit Gradient…
    A Gradient Editor box will appear with a colored strip along the top. On top of that are two black ‘stops’. Select one and then underneath “Opacity; 100%” will appear. Change it to 0%. You can drag the stop to change the position where the opacity change takes effect.
    Then select your Color(s) by selecting the color stops under the strip.
