Photo-Friendly Gradients

I am a subscriber to the Adobe suite for photographers, which includes 2021 Photoshop CC.  Prior to this, I had my own copy of Photoshop CS6.  On CS6. I made frequent use of the gradient tool, which included a number of gradient categories, such as selenium, platinum and sepia.  Unfortunately, the 2021 Photoshop CC no longer includes these options.

 

I went on the Adobe marketplace to see if I could purchase them, and found lots of expensive metallic gradients, but not the more subtle, photo-friendly gradients included on CS6.  I also explored 3rd-party vendors, and while the prices were far more reasonable than what I saw on the Adobe Marketplace, I was still unable to find the suite of photo-friendly gradients that were included in CS6.

 

Cheers,

David

 

Any thoughts on where I might find these would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks much!

In photoshop 2021 go to Window>Gradients and load the Legacy Gradients which contain the same gradients that shipped with photoshop cs6.
