PSP9 Gradient Trick

Post by AncientOfDays »

This can only be made in PSP9 or earlier.

The way we make gradients has basically not changed, but the way PSP internally makes gradients has changed quite a bit.

This is from PSP11.

And this is from PPSPX9 that I am currently using.

As you see every thing changes as the version changes.
Oh these are the specs on the gradient.

Sunburst Style, 1 repeat looks best,although you can use 2,3,4, invert set however you feel like,
Center Point at H75 V25, Focal Point at H25 V75. You can only use 80 to 74 & 20 to 26.
You can play with the numbers to move the gradient cw or ccw, just don't go out of the range of the numbers.

Place the gradient on a square image, then you can flip or mirror, cut and paste to get what you want.
Oh one last thing. As the image gets smaller the gradient does not work. 800 or 1200 is great but 400 does not work.

If anyone wants to add anything on this feel free.
