Gradient Image

A gradient image displays smooth transitions of color or brightness across an area, highlighting how values change from one point to another. It's like a map showing gradual shifts, such as a sunset blending from orange to purple or a sky darkening at dusk. In digital imaging, gradients are used to create visually appealing backgrounds, effects, or to emphasize depth and dimension. They are generated by blending colors smoothly, often using mathematical formulas, to produce a continuous flow rather than abrupt changes, enhancing the aesthetic and informative qualities of images.
