So far I a proficient in doing simple gradients on my skins, but I would like to try something more complex but I am having a heck of a time with it. I want to do, is a 3 color fade that goes red to white to blue. How do I go about that?

I have Photoshop CS version 8.0.

Photoshop has a pretty powerful gradient generator,

as always, Google is your friend
