Michele's Top Design Picks
Wacom Graphic Pen Tablets

I've had my Wacom Drawing Tablet now for almost six years, and not once has it let me down. In my early years I could never get my graphics to look neat and clean, but when I got the Wacom tablet my graphic life changed! This is why I've decided this should be my Top Pick.

The Paint Shop Gradients Paint Shop Pro Tutorials TubesMulti 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.

Gradient Files Where do gradients go in Paint Shop Pro?

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.

Where do I put my gradients?

That can depend on which version of PSP you are using. For PSP X2 you can use these standard folders shown below.

C:\Program Files\Corel\Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2\Corel_06

C:\Documents and Settings\My Stuff\My Documents\My PSP Files\Gradients

Site Tip: Stay organized by adding our gradients from this site by making a new folder as shown below, and set it to be used within the PSP program as shown above.
