VectorVonDoom Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If you are using the gradient editors in the toolbar or the fx panel it's pretty much impossible to edit a complex gradient. Just adding a previous and next gradient stop button or via the keyboard would make it a little easier. Making the panel larger wouldn't be a horrible idea either. You can edit a fill gradient directly in an object but not with precision, perhaps a pop-up when you click on a stop with the edit options, position etc. Also, on the mac at least, if you need to delete a bunch of stops you have to click a stop, delete, click on the next.... would be easier if the next stop was selected and you could just press delete over and over.

Elise Kleve Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Adding a gradient widget is extremely helpful and a must. It will save a lot of time. Also, why not implement a working eyedropper tool to specify each color in the gradient rather than specifying the color over and over again?

Yes, there are workarounds for users who are used to Illustrator-style gradient editor but I prefer something like this: Because it gives you a clear context. I select this object, a gradient widget appears on top of the selected object. Simple and straightforward. I'm not complaining; just a suggestion.

fde101 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The color panel turns into that when using the fill tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
