Illustrator :: Drag Global Color Swatches From Color Panel To Gradient Stops In Gradient Panel

Aug 28, 2012

I have CS5. The bugs and broken features in AICS6, make it unusable in my workflow.
 
I am specifically concerned about the inability to drag global color swatches from the color panel to Gradient stops in the Gradient Panel. I use this method to update a gradient color because I find it MUCH faster than option-dragging to duplicate a stop color, then deleting the unused stop. Since I do this constantly, I find using CS6 very tedious.

Illustrator :: Add Gradient Sliders Color To Swatches?

Aug 10, 2013

How do I add a "Gradient Sliders'" Colour to the Swatches?
 
I've tried dragging everytihng I can, with no luck.
 
How do I then take swatches from Illustrator and open them in Indesign?

If you think of the Gradient Sliders as end points,
 
And why does Illustrator's "help" file refer to them as "stops" but they're called sliders inside the app?

Photoshop :: Any Way To Pull Various Brushes And Tools Into Panel Like Color Swatches

Apr 21, 2013

When I'm painting, I create my custom color swatches it's easy to just click on the color I need and go. But, when choosing brushes, it's much more complicated.

I use several brushes, the mixer brush and the smudge tool back and forth when painting. Is there a way I can pull the various brushes, and tools into a panel like the color swatches so it's all right there and all I have to do it click and go?

Illustrator :: Unable To Save Gradient To Swatch Panel

Sep 27, 2012

I was always able to do this before.  (should be simple...) I made a gradient and just want to save / add it to a Swatch Panel that I've already defined and saved.  I used to be able to drag (I think) the gradient into the desired Swatch Panel and then 'save the swatch again' It won't let me do this today even though I just did it last night! 
 
I'm working on a Windows 7 machine and I am using Illustrator CS5....

Illustrator :: Fill Color In The Control Panel?

I am using Adobe Illustrator CS6 Classroom in a Book which refers to 'Fill color in the Control panel' without explaining what exactly it is.

Illustrator :: CS3 Gradient Stops

Nov 1, 2013

i'm in illustrator cs3, and even tho my stops in my gradeint are true black (it even shows true black on the stops), in the gradient itself, it's that horrible cmyk grey.

when trying to use blending modes and masks because it treats what's supposed to be black like the grey I'm getting, so things always look a little off. My document's in RGB mode and i havent found any other fixes...

Illustrator :: Creating Gradient With Own Color

Sep 3, 2013

how do I create a gradient using my own colors? I've recently upgraded form CS3 where I was able to just drag a colour swatch onto the gradient slider to set the colour. Now I can't do that. If I try with one of the default colors it works no problem but if I create my own swatch then I get a circle with a line through it saying I can't do it.

Illustrator :: Two Color Radial Gradient

May 14, 2013

Imagine a radial gradient that goes from red in the center to transparent. Then cut it in half. Then on the bottom, I need it to go from blue in the center to transparant. Also radial. How do I do this in Illustrator? I want it to look like it's all the same radial gradient... just red on top and blue on the bottom. I've mocked it up in Photoshop below. But I want to know if I can do this in Illustrator.

Illustrator :: Gradient Swatches / Create One From One That Is Already In A Document?

Jan 23, 2013

Downloaded an image from iStockPhoto. Opened up in Illustrator and removed the black background because I want to set my own values for the black background in InDesign.
 
Noticed that there are several "bubbles" of black background behind the main image that contain radial gradients.
 
These "bubbles" fade from a dark blue in the center out to black on the edge. Again, I want to be able to set this "black" to the value of black that I want to use for the background of the card. When I click on one of the bubbles, I see in my Gradient palette that it's a radial gradient and the value on the left of the slider is 100, 75, 0, 50 which I can see in the Color palette. But I can't change anything there. On the right of the slider in the Gradient palette is the "black" which is 80, 50, 0, 100.
 
So, how do I modify the value of that black? If I choose "new swatch" in the swatches palette, it just creates a new swatch called "New Gradient Swatch 1" It shows Process Color for the color type below which is greyed out as well as everything below that. how do I go about changing the black on that gradient?

Illustrator :: Use Eyedropper To Pick Up Gradient Color?

Nov 15, 2013

How do I use eyedropper to pick up a gradient color? I have a color that has 45% opacity on it and I want the exact code of that color. If I use eyepicker, it will only pick up the original color (with 100% gradient). I tried using colourificator. Illustrator picked up that color but when I applied it to the object, it became a different color.
 
Is there any other way to pick up the exact code of colors that has an opacity? If I am to find the color that has an opacity manually, how would I find it in the color picker?
 
Below is an example:
  
1) First circle does not have an opacity.2) Second circle has a 45% opacity on the stroke, and I tried using colouricator to pick up the color3) Colourifator picked up the same color, but when I applied to the third circle, the colour is off.

Illustrator :: Colorful Gradient - Average Each Square Color?

Sep 28, 2012

Is there a way to change an object's fill from a gradient to a solid color that is the average of that gradient? What I want to do is have a grid of squares, select them all and apply a colorful gradient to them as a whole, and then average each square's color so I end up with a pixelated look. Kind of like the mosaic filter in Photoshop, but in vector.

Illustrator :: Gradient Mesh - Unable To Select All Points That Are The Same Color?

All I can find online is to highlight over an area to select multiple mesh points. That will not work in my case. I can't tell illustrator to select same color, the way it does with fills and strokes? I want to change the color and I have to click on every single point again? Ridiculous.

Illustrator :: Quick Way To Create Gradient From Selected Fill Color?

Dec 14, 2012

I create gradients all the time and i'm wondering if there's a quick way to create a gradient based on the current selected object's fill color. For example: I have selected a box with a fill color of BLUE. I go to the gradient panel and see that what the gradient will be if I click on it (that is usally based on a default gradient WHITE to BLACK, or it comes from the most recent gradiented object I touched). So I click on it and the gradient is activated with the stops being not BLUE. What i want is... if i select a box with a BLUE fill and click on gradient - it will create a gradient with both stops being the same BLUE as the fill color. This would be very convenient because instead of clicking on each stop, shift-eyedropping the the blue color from a duplicated box, it would instantly start with the blue-blue gradient for me to tweak (in the case below for a button i would make the higher stop lighter and lower stop darker).

It's somewhat useful to select an object with a gradient to "copy" that gradient, select a new object, click on the gradient panel and have this new object take on that exact gradient. But most of the time i'm not copying gradients but i'm creating new ones, and it makes more sense for me to create a gradient derived from the fill color.
