Illustrator CS4 Gradients (Video Tutorial)

There's a new reverse gradient button, and gradient widgets that allow users to edit applied gradients visually. There are also new transparency options. Cheryl Graham explores these new features and takes viewers through a quick design project, creating the ringed planet of Saturn.
