Saving a Gradient

[steverd]

Running PSP X7, Win 10. Learning to make gradients and save. I have the file location set to save to C:\Users\Steve and Joanne\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\17.0\Gradients. When I push the "+" button it asks for a a new Palette I name it "Gradient" , then name the gradient with my initials and a color. The new Gradient shows in the Material Palette. However when I look at the file system the new gradient is located in the Swatches folder, with sub folder of Gradients. My question is this file being stored correctly? I would have thought it would be stored where I set the Save to File.
Thanks for any help.

Okay, so this is kind of fun.

What you did was saved a Material Swatch, not a gradient. Swatches exist in the Materials Palette but not in the gradients list. It's a fun separation.

To save a gradient do not click on the big "+" sign next to the "Before and After" views. That saves a swatch. Click on the "Save" button right underneath the gradient list, and above the gradient points. That will save the changes to the current gradient. To add a new gradient use the small "+" sign also beneath the gradient list and above the color stops editor.

Here I've highlighted the areas I'm talking about.

Thanks for your help. My old eyes did not see the other save button. Works fine.
