Creating soft and sharp transitions

In this movie, I'll show you how to soften transitions inside of a very …complicated gradient mesh pattern. And I'll also show you how to sharpen …transitions, in case that's what you want to do. …Now in our case, the reason things are so weird. …I'll just click off the shape here for a moment so I can show you. …Notice that we have these little slivers of color. …And that's the function of the fact that the various call lines are overlapping …each other in an unfortunate way. So, this guy that starts is the third to …last column line ends up overlapping the last two and then going back to its …proper location and then the second to last line tucks in between the other two …and then the very last one goes ahead and travels all the way up above the other …two and a little bit to the left. So, we need to take care of that problem, …and there's a couple ways to do that. One, of course, is to switch to the wide …arrow tool by pressing the A key, and I'll click on an anchor point here in …order to select it independently of the other ones.…
