Which tool creates a gradient between multiple colors?

• A. Marquee Tool
• B. Magic Wand Tool
• C. Gradient Tool
• D. Quick Selection Tool

Answer: (C)

A gradient between multiple colors is created with the Gradient Tool. This tool fills an area with a smooth blend of colors, and you can shape that blend by editing the gradient itself. In the Gradient Editor, you can add multiple color stops, each with its own color, and position them along the gradient to control how the colors mix. When you drag on the canvas with the Gradient Tool, Photoshop interpolates between the color stops to produce a seamless transition from the start color to the end color, incorporating all the intermediate colors you’ve set. This capability to build and control multi-color stops is what makes the Gradient Tool the go-to option for creating color transitions. The other tools—Marquee, Magic Wand, and Quick Selection—are designed for selecting parts of an image, not for generating color blends.
