The Paint Shop Gradients
Multi Color Fills
My gradient fills are made by me with Corel Paint Shop Professional. I also offer a video tutorial on how you can make a gradient in PSP. Each of these can be used within your PSP program by placing them into the psp gradients folder, and I will go over that below. The gradients are here for your creative pleasure and you are welcome to use these in your projects and templates. You can also use these to design graphics for your websites. Feel free to show off what you've made with these gradient over in our PSP forum!
The images below show how you can give a simple preset shape a new cool look by just using a gradient fill on them with or without an outline.

What are gradient fill backgrounds? The gradients below are background fills with gradual color changes and they may include different opacity levels. The Paint Shop Pro program gradient has the file extension known as PspGradient, and a typical gradient filename would be mp-fall-colors1.PspGradient
To use as a Paint Bucket Fill in PSP: Place these gradient files into your Paint Shop Professional "gradients" folder.
Where is the PSP gradients folder? If you're using PSP X2 you can use these locations. PSP allows you to choose your locations by going to File, Preferences, File Locations. However the standard folders you can use are shown below.
