Once you have filled an object with a gradient,
you can modify the gradient by using the Gradient Swatch tool or
the Gradient Feather tool to
“repaint” the fill by dragging along an imaginary line. The Gradient
tools let you change the direction of a gradient, change its beginning
point and endpoint, and apply a gradient across multiple objects.
The Gradient Feather tool lets you soften the gradient in the direction
in which you drag.
In the Swatches panel or Toolbox, select the Fill
box or the Stroke box, depending on where the original gradient
was applied.
Select the Gradient Swatch or Gradient Feather tool,
and position it at the place where you want to define the beginning
point of the gradient. Drag across the object in the direction you
want the gradient to be applied. Hold down Shift to constrain the
tool to multiples of 45°.
Dragging the Gradient Feather tool across the gradient
progressively softens the colors in the gradient within the area
you drag.
Release the mouse button at the place where you want
to define the endpoint of the gradient.
