Daniele Salvatore Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 When I try to use the Gradient Tool the whole image changes, becoming white with gradient effects, i.e. white to gray. MartinNum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Daniele Salvatore, That's expected. It's filling the selected layer with a white to grey gradient (by default). You can click on the colour stops (controls) on canvas to select them and change their colour using the Colour panel. Clicking on an empty space on the handle lets you add additional colour stops. To delete them, click on one of them to select it then press delete on your keyboard.

Staff Andy Somerfield Posted November 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 11, 2016 Daniele, It is the same tool as in AD - The trouble here is that in AD, when you drag the tool on a vector object (say a red circle), we know that you probably want red as the start of the gradient. In AP, when you drag a gradient on a pixel layer, we cannot know what colour you want to start with - so we choose white. Hope this helps, Andy.

Howard Worf Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 This doesn't work for me at all. OK, I get a grey gradient, but I can't work out how to access any other colours. The help file says : " When you edit a gradient fill from within the workspace, the Gradient Editor appears, either as a pop-up panel or as the Gradient Editor dialog" Only there is no dialogue box or pop up panel.

Angie M A Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I am also not getting a pop up dialogue box or panel. I had a look around and don't see a tab for gradients either. jins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulAffinity Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Same here; The CONTEXT tool bar does not appear after selecting the Gradient Tool. So TYPE etc.. cannot be selected. Hope that helps,, Paul jins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jins Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hi, I too am not able to see the additional options when I create a gradient. I only see the standard gradient option and not able to select types such as radial. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the bug report this morning but it hasn't been closed so I didn't think to check the app. Must have been fixed accidentally.
