I have a similar problem. Coming from Illustrator I am used to being able to RE-EDIT my gradient masks quite easily. Just click on the gradient, choose the gradient tool and edit the colors, opacities, etc... in the gradient panel and change the points, angle and width of the gradient directly in the workspace.
I have yet to find out how to do this in AD.... Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something obvious?
1) I create a mask layer
2) I select the mask layer
3) After selecting the gradient tool I drag an approximate gradient over my layer
4) In the context menu I select "Linear" in the dropbox and can adjust color points and opacity
5) I deselect the layer mask
Now I am UNABLE to re-select my gradient mask to readjust something. When i click on the mask layer again I can see the boundary box of the gradient and can adjust that but i cannot select the gradient itself! When I choose the gradient tool, the dropbox menu is empty again and when i click on it all my adjustments are gone and I have to redo everything.
I really hope I am doing something wrong and there is a way to do this! Any suggestions?
Regards,
Jan
