Adobe messed up the gradient tool. THANKS

[Patrick30436313pjz6]

cant use gradient tool anymore, what is this

Working under deadlines, and come to find out you have gone and changed the whole behavior of the gradient tool. WHY ARE YOU MESSING THAT WAS NOT BROKEN.

I CANT USE THIS TOOL ANYMORE OR FIGURE IT OUT.

YOUD THINK "CLASSIC" MAKES IT WORK LIKE BEFORE, BUT NO MATTER WHAT GRADIENT I USE IT AUTO FILLS IT.

If you spent as much time learning how to use the tool or how to revert to the older Gradient behavior than ranting, you'd be in much better shape. 

That you can't figure it out is your issue.

I'll be honest I'm kinda with the guy above... from ux perspective I should not need to click links to learn a tool I've been using for years. Right?

I found this by typing a rant about the same tool into Google, so please don't assume we all should be the planets that revolve around your sun, TheDigitalDog. I was getting around it with masks and giant airbrushes because we can't all be as smart as you, now, can we?

Remind me of rule #1 of UX again?

If you'd used Google to help with the new gradient tool, or how to use the classic version, instead of looking for a rant, that might have been more constructive.

This video describes how to use the new gradient tool in place of Lighting Effects, which we lost as part of the 3D tools being removed, but it has a nice overview of the new tool
