that is what i was afraid of. kinda odd, though, since the rules say you can change the colors of anything in the image... isn't a gradient just a way to change colors in a systematic way?

Yeah, but bear in mind that we're not allowed to create shapes that didn't exist before: we can't put a rainbow in the sky, where there was not one. And Advanced Editing rules are results-oriented, not process-oriented, so it doesn't matter HOW it's done... |
