How Many Gradients in X8 Ultimate?

Post by pdxrjt »

Hi. I was messing around with text today and went to the gradient selection part of the materials palette. There were only 15 gradients in there. I check in User Data/Corel and Program Files/Corel and both had 15 gradients there.... the gradients were duplicates of each other. I seem to remember a ton more gradients in the past.....and while I had created a couple which I no longer use, I had not added extras. So, is 15 the right number of gradients for PSP X8 Ultimate? If so, I will have to find a few more! PS: As I go off to hunt gradients I may use, can PSP use PS gradients?

When you registered psp you should have gotten a creative content download. And PSPX8 Ultimate also has an extra Creative Collection download. I forget if the Creative Collection included extra gradients or not.

But I currently have 50 gradients from Corel.

OK, thanks for the info. But that leaves me very very puzzled. I downloaded with X8 ultimate two files: Creative Collection PSPX8 at 429 MB and Creative Content at 132 MB. I ran both of them. When I realized the extra content was not installed, I re-ran both of them. They both indicated they had already been installed and I used the "repair" option. However, when I opened X8....nothing extra showed up..... about 15 gradients. When I checked User Data, there was nothing extra in the X8 files..... just the 15 gradients I found yesterday. So I went to X7 and cut and pasted the old extra content into X8 and now it seems to all be there. I have no idea how this could have happened. As I have a "solution" I probably won't look any further into this, but it is kind of annoying that the instillation of the extra content did not appear to work for me.

I gather on another forum that Corel stuffed up the links or names of the files . But this had been fixed. Try downloading the files again and installing.

Thanks, I probably will re-download to be OCD, but won't get anything new as I have already copied the content.
