Easier Gradient Stop Colour Picking


Recommended Posts

As it stands you have to drag the eye dropper from the colour palette, pick the colour and then go back up and apply it for each gradient stop which is a bit long winded. I was wondering if that could be streamlined. Perhaps change the functionality of the colour picker tool (I) so that if a gradient stop is selected then it sets that gradient stop to the picked colour rather than the whole object as it does now? That way you could even set a mouse key to I and speed it up further.

Hi @VectorVonDoom

I am not sure I understand exactly what you are asking for - but it reminds me of something I struggled with until I discovered that with a gradient stop selected I can ALT + click a color somewhere to apply it to the selected stop.

Thanks, I didn't know about that trick. I'll have a play.

It sped up my workflow by 1000% 😄

Yes, much easier although I still find myself going for the colour picker sometimes. Under Windows I can map a mouse button to Alt-Click using X-Mouse Button Control, I don't think I can do that on the Mac. I might have been able to do it with BettertouchTools but it no longer supports the additional Logitech buttons.
