hi in this video I'm going to show you
0:02
on how you can change the color of an
0:04
object from solid to gradient I have
0:07
this document and there are multiple
0:09
elements with different colors so I'm
0:11
going to focus on these three objects
0:14
because they do have prominent colors
0:16
and they do have solid colors and I want
0:18
to turn them to be gradient color so I
0:21
have this circle circle and this uh
0:24
quarter of circle I guess so how do you
0:27
actually change the color from solid red
0:29
to a gradient color so it's pretty easy
0:32
first you have to click on the object
0:34
and then you want to click on the color
0:36
menu right here and after that uh you
0:39
can either click add a new color or you
0:41
can also just modify the existing color
0:45
so this is the color of this circle I'm
0:47
going to click on
0:48
it and click on gradient and Cana would
0:52
automatically add another a lighter
0:55
usually light lighter color for the
0:58
gradient so uh we have one two colors
1:02
for this gradient setting you can also
1:03
add another color if you want to and
1:05
there is an option to change the style
1:07
or the orientation of the gradient so
1:09
there's also this uh gradient circular
1:13
gradient there's also this uh gradient
1:15
as well so basically they are linear and
1:18
circular gradient I think it's going to
1:19
be very useful so that's basically it
1:23
the same is true for this circle you can
1:25
click on it and you can click color and
1:26
you can go to gradient to add some
1:29
gradient color but of course this is not
1:32
always the case because there are some
1:34
uh some in some cases you cannot do that
1:37
for example this uh quarter of of a
1:40
circle I believe if you click on it you
1:43
can still change the color but when you
1:45
click on the color there is no option
1:48
for gradient so this is one thing to
1:50
keep in mind you cannot change the color
1:54
uh from solid to gradient when it comes
1:56
to a factor Graphics or factor of
1:59
Graphics object check uh this is not
2:02
shape circle is shape so if you go to
2:06
elements and you click shapes you see
2:08
that there are a lot of different shapes
2:10
that you can you could incorporate into
2:12
your document I could for example insert
2:14
this uh arrow and I can click on the
2:18
color and apply a gradient color that is
2:21
possible but for this sorry but for this
2:26
quarter of circle it's a shape it's not
2:29
sorry it's not a shape it's just a
2:32
graphic the same is true for this uh 1 2
2:35
3 4 circles they're actually not four
2:37
different circles this is the whole uh
2:40
graphic object you can click on it and
2:43
you see there is no option to change the
2:45
color from solid to gradient so the
2:47
graphic object is usually found from the
2:50
elements menu like for Circle for
2:54
example and if you go to frames you see
2:57
there are a lot of different options
2:58
like maybe this this one they they do
3:01
appear to be different but they're
3:03
actually the same the same object
3:06
together you can click on the color and
3:08
there is the option for changing from
3:10
solid to gradient so that's one thing to
3:12
keep in mind it's not exactly useful
3:16
it's not pretty uh we cannot do
3:18
something here but that's just one
3:21
limitation that you need to know you
3:22
cannot add sorry you cannot turn a solid
3:25
color to gradient for a graphic object
3:29
so so anyway I hope this video helps you
3:32
a lot or at least helps you a bit to
3:35
understand what elements can change its
3:37
color from solid gradient and what
3:39
elements that are not so anyway I hope
3:42
you find this video helpful and I'll see
3:43
