Gradation
Title: Angle Gradient: let us set the center, sweep range, and direction (e.g., fan out from a corner)
Body: The Angle gradient always sweeps a full 360°, clockwise from the drag direction, centered on the point where the drag starts. That makes a very common design impossible to create directly: a gradient that fans out from one corner of a selection, for example white along the left edge turning to black along the bottom edge, rotating clockwise around the bottom-left corner.
What happens today:
- Dragging diagonally from the corner puts the hard seam (where 0% meets 100%) right through the middle of the selection.
- Dragging straight down moves the seam outside, but then only the 50–75% part of the gradient lands inside the square, so it starts in gray instead of white.
- The only workaround: squeeze the stops into 0–25%, repeat the start color at 100%, and drag exactly along an edge with Shift. It works, but almost nobody can discover it, and it is hard to hit the corner precisely.
Request: for the Angle style (Gradient tool, Gradient Fill layer, and Gradient Overlay), please add:
- Center: a 3×3 anchor picker (corners, edge midpoints, center) relative to the selection or layer bounds, plus numeric X/Y.
- Sweep range: for example 90° from a corner, 180° from an edge, or 360° (the current behavior). The full 0–100% gradient fits inside that range, and the area outside it blends back smoothly, so no seam appears.
- Direction: clockwise or counterclockwise.
This would help with light rays, dials, progress rings, clock-style graphics, and corner glows. CSS already lets you place a conic gradient's center and set its angles (conic-gradient(from 0deg at 0% 100%, white 0deg, black 90deg)), so designers expect the same control in Photoshop.

- 題名: 角度グラデーションに「中心・回る範囲・回る向き」の設定を(例: 隅から扇形に)
- 困っていること: いつも 360° で一周し、中心はドラッグを始めた点しか選べない。斜めに引けば割れ目が入り、真下に引けば灰色から始まる。回避策(25% に詰めて 100% にも同じ色・辺に沿って Shift ドラッグ)は見つけにくく、角にぴったり合わせるのも難しい
- お願い: 中心を 3×3 の点と数値で選べる・回る範囲を 90°/180°/360° にできる(範囲の外はなだらかに戻して割れ目なし)・時計回りと反時計回りを選べる
- 理由: 光の筋・メーター・進み具合の輪・隅の光など、よく使う形。CSS ではもう、中心と角度を指定できる
