[solved] simple Q, delete gradients?

Postby brynn » Fri Aug 01, 2008 4:25 pm

Hi Friends,
Another simple question that I can't find an answer :roll:

How are gradients deleted? I think I'm finally beginning to be comfortable working with gradients, and now I'm in the habit of using inadvertently created gradients, by editing the stop colors, etc. But I have several images where there are literally more unused gradients than there are actual gradients in the image. I tend to be neat and organized, as much as possible, so I want to get rid of the gradients that end up not being used in the image. But I can't find how to delete them.

Surely there's a way?
Thanks for your always excellent advice :D

Ah, silly me...look at that!
That's really rather a handy tool, isn't it? Because otherwise I was expecting having to select every single gradient, to ID what not to delete, then delete the rest. Mmm-mm-mmm, I love this tool!

Thanks, sas :D
