Adobe Capture Gradients
Gradients are a type of color elements that smoothly blends colors. They can be used to create various effects in design work, illustration, video, and photo editing. Every gradient consists of a series of color swatches with stops between them that determine the distance between colors. Gradients can be rendered in several ways, such as linear or radial, depending on the desired effect. All gradients created in Adobe Capture are saved as linear.
