page 245
.) Set additional options if desired. Style specifies the shape of the gradient.
Angle specifies the angle at which the gradient is applied. Scale changes the size of the
gradient. Reverse flips the orientation of the gradient. Dither reduces banding by applying
dithering to the gradient. Align With Layer uses the bounding box of the layer to calculate
the gradient fill. You can use the mouse to move the center of the gradient by clicking and
dragging in the image window.

the measure tool, guides, and the grid” on page 43
