Dear friends,

If you got a complicated gradient artwork you want to change, is there a easy way to this? So for example, change the color brown to white chocolated without selecting every point separately.

 

Hope there is a solution.

 

Thank you.

Pieter

Apart from Recolor artwork this looks like the plugin Phantasm might be able to help.

I was distracted by the word Gradient.

What you meant was Mesh.

But the same technique can be used: Recolor Artwork.

With an object selected that is filled with the gradient and then: Edit > Edit Colors > Rcolor Artwork?

It will create a new gradient in the Swatches panel.

If the original gradient was saved in the Swatches panel.
