Please HELP! Radial Gradient Effect on Irregular Shape

[imthestig]

Hi,


I've been doing this work on photoshop cs6. I'm unable to get the same gradient effect that you see in the pic. I've tried different gradient styles (linear, radial, diamond.....) and
gradient overlay. I'm not able to get that equally distributed effect around the shape. Can someone please help doing this? Thanks in advance!

Try layer style - Inner Glow

You can also just hand-paint it.

This is just a simple shape, selected, than painted with a soft, low-opacity brush.

This gives you the ability to make portions of the shape darker or lighter.

That's the option I'm looking for. Thanks for the help hawkeye! I'm trying the INNER GLOW option and I don't find the GRADIENT change option there. My inner glow page does not have that shown at all. Am I missing something? Many thanks.


EDIT: I got it now, thanks very much! Thank you thank you thank you! Thank you agentmoeller too for your suggestion! Really appreciate your help guys!
