P: Better on canvas controls and gradient live preview

[Ivan Zajats]

You made live previews for the Blend modes, why not to improve the Gradient too?

It would be very handy, like in the Illustrator.

[Earth Oliver]

yes, the Ps gradient tools have needed an update for 20 years. How is it that we still need to dive 3 windows deep to change a color? Or that we have no on-canvas controls? Or that the banding is still no bad with no heavier dither options available? Why has this tool been so neglected?

[Ivan Zajats]

It seems, you forgot to vote if you agree. You can also create your own topic with your suggestions.

[Earth Oliver]

We've been making these requests for 20 years already. And again, Ivan, you're not actually describing what exactly your request is...

[Ivan Zajats]

Don't you see the attached gif animation?

dude, i'm not trolling you here. I'm trying to help you understand that when you make a feature request, you need to explain exactly what it is you want. And like i said, we've been requesting live grads for decades already, as well as the other features i've mentioned.

[Ivan Zajats]

any proofs of you "requesting ... for decades"? you even haven't voted in this topic, lol

I don't think the Adobe staff are so silly [abuse removed by moderator], the request is more than clear

[Ivan Zajats]

I've watched today's Piximperfect video on Youtube (the links aren't allowed here, I guess) and he asked for the same feature 🙂 He showed the Affinity Gradient which is way more advanced and editable! check it, please!

[Ivan Zajats]

so, finally you've done it?) will it work on the layer masks?

p.s. it's a pity you don't mention the contributors who suggest the ideas in you releases...

[Ivan Zajats]

why nobody marks the Idea as Released?

Thanks for the reminder and the request. This feature is now available in Photoshop!
