More than one gradient on the same layer?

[Tioga]

Can you put more than one ....say.... radial gradient on the same layer. I was watching a tut and im pretty sure he was doing just that but he didnt say how he was doing it. I tried the ctrl,shift,alt buttons combinations but everytime it just gave me a new gradient not adding another. Any help would be appreciated.

What is the benefit of doing that even if it is possible which i think it is not, it's own new layer gives more freedom to control and adjust over two or more effects on one layer.
Makes no real sense to me?

It sounds to me like he created the gradient rasterized that style and then did it again in a different location etc,etc

 

[Paul]

But that still means separate layers for each new 'gradient' applied?

 

[iDad]

Is he talking about gradient map

OK I did it.... on a new layer with a radial gradient. But it seems to only work with a black to transparent gradient. It wouldnt work with a full color gradient only a black to transparent or any other color to transparent only.

Here it is. Black to transparent and red to transparent radial gradient on the same layer..... and I swear I didnt merge them... lol

Im not sure there is a huge benefit to it. I just wondered how he did it.
