Haven’t you people in USA never heard of COREL DRAW ??? I have done that for more then 10 years now in it: Adobe Illustrator is so many years behind : it annoys me everybody thinks it is “high-tech avant-gard”! LOL

wow, this saved me a lot of time, I never knew about the menu option, the preview button is a lifesaver!

thanks, I’m a college student in NY and this really helped me. I couldn’t figure out how to select the points in my gradient mesh, but this helped when I googled for that. i didnt realize that i had to Double Click on the points with the Direct Selection tool to get them selected.

Ricky: I’ve run into that as well. For some reason it seems Illustrator (and sometimes Photoshop) will just default to grayscale. So you have to bring up the colors palette and reset it to the correct color mode (I mostly work in CMYK ’cause it’s for print). It’s irritating, I know. (I have to wonder if there’s a way of changing this is Prefences so you can pick the default color mode?)

Thaaaaanks, iÂ´m burning the midnight oil trying to “undersand” the gradients (i mean in photoshop itÂ´s easssssy, but in illustrator itÂ´s something different)(sometimes I only gets “grays” (no matter what i do!)(and iÂ´m trying to have a gradient of 3 colors..) i think with this tuto and a little practice i will get it… THANKS and a big hug..
