a gradient map is an adjustment layer in Photoshop. it essentially just adds a gradient of whatever colours you specified to your image. gradient maps are wonderful to use! they can seriously impact how your image looks. under the cut is a mini tutorial on how to use them with example pictures!
to use it go to layer > new adjustment layer > gradient map
double click on the gradient bar and it’ll open up the gradient editor menu and you can choose from presets that were previously installed or that you have already downloaded. if you don’t want to use a preset all you have to do is click on the bottom squares below the gradient bar and select the colours you want! you can also move the squares to change the gradient.
before
after (gradient map set to ‘normal’ and 100% opacity
further editing (gradient map set to ‘darker colour’ and 34% opacity
I recommend playing around with blend modes and the opacity!
