I am working on a tutorial that calls for a Black to Transparent gradient, image below:

I have a Foreground to Background, Foreground to Transparent and a Black/White option--no Black to Transparent option?

Photoshop CS6 Extended, Windows 10, Firefox. Thanks for looking, Lucie.

  • Tap D (for Default colors to restore Black and White in the toolbar)
  • Then select your Gradient tool, and open the gradient list
  • It's the second option

Custom colors on the left, after tapping the letter D on the right:

I'm not quite sure I am understanding what you are wanting.

If you set your foreground color to black and use the Foreground to Transparent gradient you would have a black to transparent.
