Gradient Forge Preferences

Gradient Forge Preferences

1. Show Informational Text for Panel Controls

When enabled (the default), informational text is shown at the bottom of the Gradient Forge panel when the cursor is hovered over controls on the panel, or when gradient stops or midpoints are dragged.

2. Require Option to Add New Stop

When enabled, Option/Alt must be held down when clicking to create a new stop in the main editing area. This can be useful if you find yourself inadvertently creating stops by starting the marquee in the add stop area.

3. Informational area

Shows a brief description of each preference control when the cursor is being hovered over it.

4. Help Button

Opens the help documentation in the Astute Manager. If this does not automatically appear, please ensure your Astute Manager is running first.
