can this technique work with PSE18? I was unable to locate “properties”
Yes, it works in PSE 2018! You’ll add the Gradient Map using an adjustment layer (at the top of the Layers panel, the circle that is half-black-half-white). However you won’t have those same “Photographic Toning” gradients to work with so you will need to create your own.
