I want to fill a rectangle with a gradient color I have created (using start-stop colors) but without using the gradient tool which requires manual job.I just want to fill the rectangle from color-start to color-stop.
Thank you.

PS : I am using mac and photoshop cs5.

Try this way:

1. In the Layer Panel - right click on the layer with your rectangle
2. Click Blending Options
3. Gradient Overlay
4. Set the desired gradient settings
5. OK
