Adjusting a Gradient Fill

You can modify an objects gradient fill using the Paint Bucket tool to redraw it or the Pointer tool to adjust the fill handles. We are going to use the Pointer tool.

1. Choose the Pointer tool.
   
   
2. Click the Pointer tool cursor on the Grip shape to select it.
   When you do this the fill handles will appear. (a black line with a circle at one end and a square at the other)
   
   
3. Move the fill handle by dragging the circle end and resize it by dragging the square end. Move it so it looks something like the image below.
