Adding and Deleting Color Stops
A gradient can have up to sixteen color stops. You can add color stops by clicking in the area
directly below the gradient editor. The new color stop is assigned the color of the point on
the gradient editor above the stop, and a midpoint automatically appears between the new
color stop and each neighboring color stop. To delete a color stop, drag it downward away
from the gradient editor.
Selecting Color Stops and Midpoints
Click any color stop or midpoint to select it. When a color
stop is selected, its point turns black. An unselected color
stop has a clear point. A color stop must be selected to
apply changes to it.
Setting the Location of Color Stops and Midpoints
You can drag color stops and midpoints to different locations in the gradient. As you drag
a color stop, its position on the gradient updates in the
Position
Þ
eld. A value of 1 represents
the right edge of the gradient, and a value of 0 represents the left edge of the gradient. The
Midpoint
value indicates the midpoint’s position between two color stops, expressed as a
percentage. You can type a value to move a color stop or midpoint to the desired location.
Adjusting Color and Alpha Values
To adjust the color and alpha value of a color stop, select the color stop you want to change,
then use the
Selected Color Stop
controls to set the color and transparency you want.
Color
sets the color of the selected stop. Click the color chip to access the system color picker,
or use the eyedropper to choose a color from the screen. You can also enter RGB values into
the numerical
Þ
elds and then press Return.
