Gradient Overlay in Layer Style Not Showing Radial Gradient

Hello and thank you for your help and time.

I'm trying to create a radial gradient in my layer style. In the Layer style / Gradient Overlay it shows a picture of the radial gradient in the box on the right hand side. But, it doesn't show or create the radial gradient when I click OK. How can I create a radial gradient in Photoshop CC that I can move and edit.

Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue.  The Radial gradient isn't working for me either.  I though I was just crazy.

Hi! I too was having this problem. I just figured out that my "mode" was set to "screen". Once I changed it to normal then it worked. 

 

Hope this helps someone!

Thank you all. I greatly appreciate the suggestions. I found out when I create a gradient adjustment layer I can move the radial gradation when the Gradient Fill menu is showing. I can also change the size and adjust my gradation level. Kind of tricky, but I figured it out. Thanks again for your help and time with this.

Try this: Make a circular Shape with the Ellipse tool, fill black with no stroke. Set the Fill to zero%:

Now add the Gradient overlay, and you can move and resize it using the Move tool.

The layer  you are trying to add gradient overlay on is empty   ( Layer 4 is Transparent )

That is correct. The layer is empty because when I click OK in the layer style menu, it doesn't create the gradation. So strange.

Layer Styles are only applied to the non-transparent portions of a layer.

Hi

Have you tried other "blending mode" ?
