Raymondo Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This subject has been raised before but there doesn't appear to have been a clear response from the team. Why can you not get access to the gradients you have saved in the main colour palette from elsewhere such as the FX panel (gradient overlay) etc. This must be an oversight surely? Is this going to be rectified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 There already is. Open up the Swatches panel, and then click on the dropdown menu that says "Grays," and change it to "Gradients." There is an option to add new gradients to that palette. Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

EG: In the following example, although the saved gradient is blue to yellow, it will just use the left most blue part of the gradient. I have the same problem with Gradient Maps.

Bri-Toon Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Testing this in Designer 1.6, it seems to work appropriately. Maybe there is a bug in Photo? 20170525150211(1).mov Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

Saved gradient swatches work fine for doing what you were doing in the video, but you can't use them for things like Gradient Maps. I'm not sure whether it's a bug, or an oversight.

Bri-Toon Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Does this issue occur for you only in the map of the Gradient Overlay effect, or also from the Context Toolbar?
