Class breaks to continuous colorbar

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to change filled contour class breaks to continuous colorbar in Layout View Legend?
I can do it in Paint, but maybe there is more professional way...

Did you try manually changing the labels in the legend's symbology?

Thank you! This is indeed one possibility, although it is hard to accurately place the full numbers (6.5, 7.0, 7.5). From another topic in ESRI community I found some interesting ideas regarding the colorbar:

Since the vector layer symbology renderer uses discrete classes, even when symbolizing with graduated coilors, the legend it uses also renders as discrete colors. To create a legend with a continuous color ramp one way to do it would be to create it as a graphic, with a rectangle filled with the same color ramp as your layer and labeled with graphic text as desired. Another way to do this is to create a regular legend with the classes and then draw a rectangle with the color ramp fill, and place it so it's covering the classified patches. Another option would be to include a raster constructed to have the same values and symbology, use that in the legend, and hide the actual raster in the map.
