How do you do the gradient colour text on tumblr?
Basically, I use this site to get a gradient text (to get more control over my gradient colors, I screenshot my draft post, load it up in PS [any program with layers, layer settings and gradients will work though], new layer set to screen, rectangle marquis the text, sample some colors from the pic for the gradient [or I might boost them/choose them myself/mess around with the sampled colors with color balance etc], apply gradient once or a few times to make adjustments if the initial one doesn't look nice [first is an opaque gradient, then one color with transparency to make adjustments unless it's really bad, then it's back to an opaque one and repeat process]. Once I'm happy with it I sample a color from each letter, line up the colors to sample from, then copy each hex code as I sample from the lineup and plug them into the site, adjusting for the number of letters), copy the html code once I'm happy with the gradient, then (on PC, but mobile browser works too) hit the gear on the top right corner of the draft editor, under text editor, hit the drop-down menu and select html. Go back to the draft editor, highlight the text to be gradiented, paste html in its place, hit the gear and go back to rich text under text editor, head back to the draft, see how it looks. If it looks bad, I go back into PS (or if you're not insane like me you could adjust it from the site, but I like knowing exactly what color what letter is going to be) and repeat the gradient and pasting processes. The process repeats until I'm happy with how it looks in the editor. Then I move on to finish the rest of my post
