I have even taken a word or phrase and clicking onto the layer drag and dropped it onto another waiting background to be used for some header elsewhere. This can be created once and used over and over again. The great thing about this process is that no matter what you typed in the beginning, it can be changed to another word or phrase easily. Create another stop between the new one and the left on, for location type 20%, click the color box and B for brightness type in 40%, click okay in both dialog boxes. Click in between the right and middle stops to create another stop, for location type in 35%, click the color box and B for brightness type in 45%, click okay. Drag that diamond shape as far to the right as it will go. Click the lower left stop (black), which will give you a tiny diamond shape in the middle between the left stop and the middle one. Click the lower right stop on the gradient bar (white), for location type 90%, click the color box and B for brightness type in 45%, and click okay. Click below the gradient bar in the dialog box to add a color stop and type in 50% for location, click the color box to get a color picker, at the B box type in 70% for brightness, click okay. Blend Mode Normal, Style Linear, Align with layer is checked, Angle 90%, click the gradient bar and check the black to white default preset. Go to the FX icon and choose Gradient Overlay.
