Designing a gradient is a slow process

[summer]

Especially when the color picker tool is involved. Let's say I want to make a layer with an FX gradient.

1. Open Layer FX
2. Select gradient overlay
3. Select gradient
4. Select a gradient point
5. Click color
6. Click and drag color picker to a point on screen
7. Click the color pickers color
8. Click the gradient overlay again
9. Select the 2nd gradient point
10. Click color
11. Click and drag color picker to a point on screen
12. Click the color pickers color
13. Click the gradient overlay again

Plus if I have to tab to another application to read a hex code the color panel is gone. If you forgot to click the little color circle after selecting the color you have to repeat the process.

This really needs to be optimised and have better UX.

Preferably just click the gradient point and the color selection is already there. The color picker should just assign the color automatically instead of the tedious process it is now.

Thanks for reading.

+1 on this.

We will save a lot of clicks/time and it should be every time we want to choose a color

Also the drag is a slow process, why I can't just click on the color picker and click where I want to pick a color? We can have both solution.
