    Hi Diana. I loved this article. I have flagged this page of my magazine for future help. You have given so much information in a simple format and I have learned an enormous amount about the gradient tool. I hope to see more information on other tools. Thank you, Lynn

    Everything and more of what I need to know about the gradient tool. I even tried out the period and comma shortcuts and was surprised to see they acutally worked. I think I now know how to create my own set of gradients. It’s not intuitive and this tutorial helped a great deal. Thanks.
