Hi, I have a suggestion regarding Gradient Map UX
Currently, on most adjustment layers, you'd only need one click if you want to modify the layer.
And I think this is brilliant since it facilitates constant adjustments.
Here's an example on Curve Adjustment Layer
This however doesn't really seem to apply to the Gradient Map adjustment layer.
Right now, you need 5 steps in total to change the gradients.
And I think, if you're trying to edit the current active gradient only, the last part is quite confusing and unintuitive as well since you'd have to select
Close instead of
SaveAnd if you select
Save, it'd change your current saved Gradient Map swatches as well, which is mostly not what we want when we just want to modify the active layer.
I feel like, clicking these 5 steps whenever you just want to tweak the gradient map handle, say, a little bit to the left, doesn't really facilitate constant adjustments.

I came up with a suggestion to implement a more intuitive UI where tweaking would only require one step. I believe that most users would only need this one step most of the time. I'd love to know what you think.
Thank you! ✨
