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 543, “Layers” on page 479, and “Alpha Channels” on

When applying a gradient as a fill, you can apply one of four gradient types: linear,

radial, circular, and spiral.
