- [Deke] In this movie, we're going to add some colors…to our mesh points…and I'll also show you how to sharpen…and smooth color transitions inside…of a Gradient Mesh object.…Now, we're going to be changing the colors…of an awful lot of mesh points here,…which is why I've created this diagram…here inside Photoshop,…just the easiest way to work,…and so any place where you see a one,…that means that the mesh point is colored with Blue 1,…as is already the case, by the way,…because the original path outline was filled…with that color.…Two indicates Blue 2, three is Blue 3,…four is the Bright Blue 4,…and then W, the three Ws that appear…inside this diagram are White,…and so I'm just providing this in case you need…to come back to it.…
So, I'll go ahead and switch back to Illustrator here,…and I'm going to zoom out just a little bit…so I can better see what I'm doing.…And I'll press the A key to switch…to the White Arrow tool…because that'll allow me to select multiple points,…and I'll click on this guy…and I'll Shift+click on this one…
