Adjusting the Gradient of the Particle Emitter

The particle emitter has been added to the project, but its default colors do not match
the color scheme already set up in the project. This can be changed easily.

To change the gradient used by the particle emitter:

1

Select the Blue Lights emitter object in the Layers tab or Canvas if it is not already
selected.

2

In the Inspector (press Command+3), select the Emitter tab.

3

Choose Atlantic Blue from the Gradient Preset pop-up menu under the Color Mode
parameter.
