But if you try to warp text that has a gradient applied to it,  the letters bend but the gradient stays perfectly straight. Here is the simple trick to lock your gradient to your text so they warp and bend  together.

But if you try to bend or warp that text, you'll  run into a frustrating problem: the letters bend, but the gradient does not.<\/p>\n<p>In this tutorial, I'll show you a simple, hidden trick to lock your gradient to your letters so they warp and bend perfectly together. <\/p>\n<p>Here's an example of the result we'll achieve. Notice how the angle of the  gradient bends along the word to match the warp of the text.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/type\/effects\/2022\/how-to-warp-a-gradient\/how-to-warp-a-gradient-in-photoshop.jpg\" alt=\"The text and gradient warping together in Photoshop.\" width=\"803\" height=\"455\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The text and gradient warping together in Photoshop.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>Let's get started!<\/p>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">Which Photoshop version do I need?<\/h2>\n<p>I'm using <strong>Photoshop 2026<\/strong>.
