Is there a way to do a radial gradient?  It only seems to do linear by default. 

Is there a way to make one of the gradient colors transparent?

This is my convoluted way of achieving just that.

A group (or folder) made of linear gradients.

Then set your group (or folder) to luminosity or just multiply

Enjoy

I did it with just four but you can do 8 and get an even rounder gradient.

This is not yet added in Photoshop Mobile, but you can request this feature at the Photoshop Feedback site.

As far as I can tell, the answer to both of those questions is no, currently. I haven't found a way to create a radial gradient. Nor does there appear to be any way to adjust the opacity of an individual color for a gradient. Unfortunately, I think those need to be added to the list of requests.

Isn't remarkable that such a ultra basic function is missing on Photoshop for iPad??

A matter of facts, almost every tool filter and adjustment layer is missing, including also liquify etc etc...

Apple iPad have been around for almost ten years now, so Adobe have had a lot of time to build something really good on iPad, but, Adobes ignorance toward the mobile community is clear here...

I'm assuming that they're doing the typical release early, release often, gauge interest and determine which features are most asked for.

While I'm having tons of problems on my mac with stylus pressure, I have been able to switch back to the iPad for some things. But some of these missing features, like radial gradient, straight line lasoo, magic wand, uploadable brushes, etc. are pretty limiting.
