Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Gradient Map layer import from Photoshop CS2

  • Gradient Map layer import from Photoshop CS2

    Posted by Geoff Thomson on August 7, 2006 at 4:35 am

    Hi all.
    I’m working on a job that came to me as a layered Photoshop CS2 file, and it has “Gradient Map” layers in it.

    2 things.

    1. Is there a way to import these layers as part of a layered comp without them crapping out…
    2. Is there a way to replicate this effect in After Effects using another effect…

    Am i forgetting a simple effect in AE that will do the same job? Bit rusty.

    Thanks Guys – any feedback most welcome.
    Cheers,
    Thommo

    (For anyone not familiar with Photoshop CS2 – for want of a better description – Gradient Maps are an adjustment layer that allows you to remap the variation between highlights and shadows with a gradient. ie. A black to white gradient would give you a grayscale image, and a brown to yellow gradient would give you a sepia image with yellow as the highlights and brown as the shadows. Any gradient can be used with any number of colours)
