Gradient Picker, but it also lets you edit those gradients by choosing different colors, adding
more colors, rearranging the colors, and removing colors.

another. Click Restrict Colors to avoid oversaturated colors.

gradient will change automatically in gradients you create.
5. Select the Ending Color by clicking the right color stop. Repeat step 4 above to define the
color.

color stop to the left or right. Drag the midpoint slider (a diamond icon) to where the colors mix
, equally, 50-50. You can also change the position of the midpoint by typing a value in the
Location box.
7. (Optional) Add Another Color by clicking below the gradient bar at the position you want to

3. Add the Color to the Swatches Panel. Once you've sampled your first color, move your mouse
cursor into the empty area inside the Swatches palette. You'll see your mouse cursor change
into a paint bucket icon. Click anywhere inside the empty area to convert your sampled color
into a color swatch. The Color Swatch Name pop-up will appear. Enter a name for your color
swatch. Click OK.
**To Edit the Swatch Panel, right-click on the color swatch and choose either Rename Swatch
or Delete Swatch.
