Illustrator CS4 Gradients

CATEGORIES: Illustrator, Tutorials | Cheryl Graham | September 23, 2008

Create and edit complex gradients with the new Gradient tool in Illustrator CS4, which has undergone a complete makeover. There’s a new reverse gradient button, and gradient widgets that allow users to edit applied gradients visually. There are also new transparency options. Cheryl Graham explores these new features and takes viewers through a quick design project, creating the ringed planet of Saturn.

Great tutorial!
But really, Adobe… what a joke!
It took Illustrator 10 years or so to get the functionality of the the gradient tool that existed in Draw v8 or was it v5?
