Thanks for your kind words. Glad that you like this filter. and if you want, you are welcome to come in the monsters's thread with your creations.

In answer to your question, here is a file that should help with the use of gradients. It is a very small base on 3 different usage patterns. I have put some basic controls. Playing with the settings and adding other controls, you will discover a lot of interesting things. In this filter, the door is open to adding another 9 selections gradients to let you practice.

The discovery begins with research (the use of components), study (making connections across and between both the different components to see what results), practice (add more combinations of gradients and try it with other patterns) and test (add controls and play with different settings).
