In the past, I could directly operate the color picker to select colors in the gradient settings. Now I need to click one more step, and it has become as clunky as PS for me.
Ah, I understand. There were some updates (including new features) that were just rolled out.
I can’t promise what/if any changes are going to be implemented to make this seem more intuitive for you, but I will leave this topic open for others to add additional feedback.
