    Thanks, Adobe, for making it the way it should’ve been all along (duh). While you were at it, though, you could have made Photoshop’s gradient editor work the same as Illustrator’s, with the click-and-drag editing tools introduced in AI CS 4.

    I’ve never understood why the two programs work differently. Don’t you guys talk to each other?

      Ps should focus in bitmaps, not vectors. It’s a bloated monster. Software should be specialized.

    That is now similar to fireworks^^.

    Is it possible/easy to fill a gradient over many different objects? I know Flash can (and AI) but what about Photoshop? If so, is it as easy as a usual way of doing so with bitmaps?
