|
| Choose dark maroon (6f1300) for the foreground color and a lighter shade for the background color (c82e00). Make a selection (select > load selection) using the rectangle |
 |
|
|
 |
|
| Choose the linear gradient, cirlcled in green (a). Open the gradient editor, by clicking on the sample gradient, and choose "foreground to background" (b) |
 |
| |
 |
|
| To create the gradient, drag form the top to the bottom of the selection, which should produce something like in the iamge below. |
