I'm running PhotoShop 26.4.0 and this morning, under a tight deadline, and PhotoShop has decided to not dsiplay the gradient editor panel.  I've been trying for the past half hour to make it show, with no luck.  Would appreciate a solution if anyone has one.  I'm on an iMac, so it's an Apple OS.

 

Thanks.

To see the properties of a gradient, make sure these things are true:

 

Gradient layer is selected in the Layers panel.

Properties panel is open.

 

If that doesn’t do it, then also do this:

Select the Gradient tool.

 

If the Properties panel still is not showing options for the selected gradient, check which icon is selected at the top of the Properties panel. For example, if a gradient is on a layer mask, the Properties panel can be set to show the options for the layer, the mask, or the gradient on the mask. In this case select Gradient Adjustment.
