Gradients
A gradient is a type of fill that displays a smooth progression of two or more colors and adds the illusion
of depth to an image. Gradient fills are also known as blends or fountain fills. Corel Painter offers a wide
selection of preset gradients, but you can also create gradients.
This section contains the following topics:
• “Applying gradients” (page 723)
• “Replacing image colors with gradient colors” (page 726)
• “Adjusting gradients” (page 727)
• “Creating and editing gradients” (page 729)
• “Saving gradients” (page 733)
Applying gradients
Corel Painter allows you to apply a gradient to an image by filling an area, such as the canvas, a selection,
layer, or channel. For more information, see “Selections and transformations” on page 577, “Layers” on
page 513, and “Alpha Channels” on page 563.
When applying a gradient as a fill, you can apply one of four gradient types: linear, radial, circular, and
spiral.
