The gradient feather feature has been in InDesign for a long time. But one tool that popped up a few years back allows you to add a gradient feather with a quick drag of your mouse.

Can you guess what it’s called?

That’s correct, the Gradient Feather Tool and it’s simple to use. Add what you know about making gradient feathers in the Effects Dialogue Box and you’re a gradient feather making machine.

Some of what you’ll see in this Episode includes:

• What is a Gradient Feather
• What options can I control in the Effects dialogue window
• What does the Gradient Feather Tool do
• How can I change Gradient Feathers with the Gradient Feather Tool
• What can’t I do with the Gradient Feather Tool
• and more
  

The Gradient Feather is a great effect, and now it can be applied easily and quickly with the Gradient Feather Tool. Or you can keep doing it the old way and charge by the hour.
