Using the Edit Gradient - Texture Tool
If you paint a zone with a gradient or texture colour, you can use the Edit Gradient/Texture tool to modify its position in the zone. You can move, scale, rotate and skew. If you want to match the colour to the animation, set the first texture position and copy the Edit Gradient/Texture position. When moving to the next drawing, you can select the next texture and paste the previous position to continue the modifications.
If you are painting a hand-drawn animation or if you want the Brush and Paint tool to use your gradient’s position, angle and scale settings instead of the default ones, you can store your own settings and reuse them afterward.
This way of editing a texture using the Edit Gradient/Texture tool also works with pencil lines drawn with textured “brushes”. If you then paint your textured pencil line with a gradient, you can do so and then edit both elements independently at the same time.
- In the Tools toolbar, select the Edit Gradient/Texture tool or select Tools > Edit Gradient/Texture.
- Click the Gradient or Texture zone to be modified. To modify several areas at once, hold down the Shift key and click in the zones to be modified.
- Move the edit texture’s anchor points to the desired result.
‣ | If the same modification needs to be applied to another gradient in another drawing or texture zone, you can select the modified zone and select Edit > Copy. Select the zone to be modified in the other drawing and select Edit > Paste. |
