Unable to apply gradient along or across a stroke
Trying to make a cylindrical/tubular structure with form.
In gradient window, when selecting to apply the gradient either within, along or across the stroke, one gets the same result. A vertically oriented gradient which has nothing to do with the stroke. Quite frustrating. even if one changes the orientation, it does absolutely nothing.
This is the reason why I upgraded. What a disappointment! And I see from the web that I'm not alone.

Radial gradient generates broken CSS
Illustrator CC 22.1. To reproduce, create a rectangle with fill set to any radial gradient. Name the rectangle, open CSS Properties window. Observe the generated CSS:
.GradientBox
{
background : -moz-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
background : -webkit-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
background : -webkit-gradient(radial,50% 50% ,0 , 50% 50%, 272.12 ,color-stop(0,rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) ),color-stop(1,rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) ));

生成されるグラデーションはグラデーションではない
2024年前半頃に作成したデータについて解説します。
グラデーションツールで単色(特色濃度100%)から透明(特色濃度0%)になるグラデーションです。(A参照)黒の矢印で指し示している部分までは均等に濃度100%が入るはずなのですが、データ上でもよく見ると黒の矢印で指し示している位置の前後が濃い色になっているのがわかるでしょうか。このデータを最終、印刷(印刷業者に依頼)まで進めて商品をお客様に納品したところ、納品先の顧客からクレームが入りました。納品された商品を見るとAの写真で示したように黒の矢印周辺が一番色味が濃く出ており(筋が入ったような状態)本来矢印より下の部分も全く同じ色(濃度100%)で出るべきところが薄くなっているんです。(参照B)
しかも濃度100%より上の部分がすごく汚いムラのあるグラデーションになっています。
私自身、DTP業界で20年以上仕事をしていますが、年々イラレの品質低下が著しいことを恐らく長年愛用されている方ほどお気づきかと思います。
20年程前もグラデーションツールで作成したグラデーションをフィルム印刷するとグラデーションの段階がまるで階段のように縞々にでたことを思い出しますが、その解決方法として使用していたのがブレンドツールという強い味方。ステップ数を細かすぎるというくらいに細かい設定にすることでスムースなグラデーションを再現できます。
が、しかし。
今回の件で次回の印刷に向けて解決策を講じようとブレンドツールで同じグラデーションを作成したものの、いくらステップ数を増やそうとも、なめらかなグラデーションにならないのです。(C参照)
そしてcの画像を見て観察眼の鋭い方ならお気づきかと思いますが、
テップ数50のところを見て気づきませんか。一段一段のステップがグラデーション表現されており、そのグラデーションがまさに上に向かってゆくにつれて濃く表現されていることを。
本来であればもちろん一段一段のステップが同じ均一の色味になるので絶対にこういう表現になるはずがないですよね。
グラデーション表現の不具合と同じことが、このブレンドツールに於いても起こっています。今回実際に商品としてお客様に納品しており、このグラデーションの不具合が原因で金銭的損失を被りました。
グラデーションツールに問題があった時の回避策としてブレンドツールを使っていたのに、それも使い物にならないとなったら、この手のデザインは使えなくなります。
深刻に受け止めていただきたいですし、細部にまで注意を払って改善していただきたいです。1 vote -
Problem with gradient mesh created in InDesign
Why is it that when I open a PDF created in InDesign with a gradient mesh, in Illustrator, the mesh becomes a solid fill?
Thank you

Freeform gradient gets stuck on color stop mode
I created a circle with a freeform gradient and when I tried to deselect the gradient, it would not deselect the color stops inside the gradient. Even when I had another object selected and tried to change the fill color, it said "color stop" was selected to fill in the top left corner. I also tried switching to my other open projects and the problem was still occurring even in projects with no gradients.

Gradients got broken when reopening a file
A file I created only three months ago in an older version of Illustrator (project still ongoing) no longer shows the gradations. I spent DAYS creating. When I finally found where to get online Adobe support (that is not right), the tech had me download an older version of Illustrator as the solution. That does not seem like a solution. How do I keep these gradations in the new version? Why did they disappear? I have been a dedicated, daily user of Illustrator since 1990. I have more and more problems every year/upgrade. I used to always give your products/company…

Linear and radial gradient do not stay true to selected color's value
Not an issue in freeform gradient1 voteDo you have the test fil you can share with the team?
Please remove anything sensitive from it and leave only the shape with the gradient. Do not move it into another doc or make sure it uses the same color mode as the original document does.

Changing color on gradient object freezes illustrator
I noticed a similar issue someone was having in 2019, but it doesn't seem precisely the same. I am running Illustrator 24.3 on Windows 10. I recently pulled up an Illustrator file from last year to pull items for a new, related project. One of the vectors is a gradient - I'm trying to change it to solid fill. The only way I can do this right now is to change it to whatever solid is my default in my Tools panel, then change it to the actual color I want in my color palette. The Color palette automatically selects…

Scaling freeform gradient objects with real-time drawing/editing on.
When I have real-time drawing turned on, I can't select multiple objects that contain freeform gradients and scale them without losing the appearance of the objects. A single object works, more than one at a time will not. If I turn off real-time in preferences, this resolves the issue.
Mac os 10.14, Illustrator c 24.2
Please see videos for demo:

"Apply gradient across stroke" shows terrible banding compared to a standard linear gradient
When applying a gradient to a stroke with the "apply gradient across stroke" option selected, the resulting gradient is very poor quality, with lots of visible banding.
In the attached image the top gradient is formed by feathering a rectangle with corner radius of 31.235 px by 20px. The quality is fine, although feathering makes specifying specific colours a hassle.
The middle object is the same rectangle with a 40pt stroke, with a white-to-black gradient applied with "apply gradient across stroke" selected. The gradient is very uneven, showing clear banding.
The bottom is a the same linear gradient applied as…

linear gradients switching to radial gradients unexpectedly
Illustrator CC 2019 (both Mac and Win platforms) I teach at the college level. Numerous students have reported that they will create a linear gradient on a shape. When they continue editing other areas and return to that shape, the gradient has changed to radial. The linear gradient shape was not selected and they were not editing a gradient swatch. I cannot replicate this error. Any thoughts?

Freeform gradient line stops disappearing
The freeform gradient tool is very cool in its flexibility but I have encountered some major bugs with the line option. I can create the line stops but if I change the opacity of a stop from 100% then stops along the line most of the time one or more stops disappear.
Sometimes just clicking or clicking and moving a stop makes stops disappear as well.
It makes the tool unusable. Hopefully, it will become more reliable in a future release.
