can this be done in psp pro x6

or in any corel product

No and....maybe.

First PSP does not have a gradient map option. Which is weird. Even free software provides gradient map but Corel never found the need to add it to PSP.

But there have been several plugins that help to deal with this including a really old one called Gradient Smithy - https://www.mehdiplugins.com/english/gradientsmithy.htm This lets you both create and apply gradients to images.

Seeing as you have access to PSP X6 you probably were given the KPT plugins by Corel. Those have a gradient option, though I don't remember much about it.

The next option if you don't like either of those two plugins is the use of scripts.

We can simulate a gradient map with the curves adjustment layer, and I have a script that can take a gradient and automatically create the curves adjustment layer to simulate the gradient map. https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?p=358320

Cassel sells a Gradient creation script that lets you draw a vector line over an image and auto-sample colors from the line into a gradient - https://creationcassel.com/store/index. ... epikkkv361

And one final option, this works differently from the tutorial you shared and the two scrips listed above.

What this does is it actually tries to directly copy the color from one image into another as a gradient map. And the fewer the colors the better. It's not a good equivalent to the tutorial you showed but it does something similar.

Another suggestion:

Create an empty raster layer above the target image.
Fill this layer with color R116 G145 B167 (#7492a7).
Select layer Blend Mode: Color.
Decrease the layer Opacity to 75.
You get this:

After seeing Jean-Luc's post I realized I hadn't actually tested any of the options I put above. So I decided to go through the paces.

First the plugins - both do the mapping very well. KPT Gradient Lab and GradientSmithy both work fine. But GradientSmithy requires a specific format so the set up is awkward, and I never managed to get GradientLab to give me better control over the creation of the gradients. It's weird. So I no longer recommend those.

Scripts -

So I tried both of the gradientmap suggested scripts that I gave you and they didn't work as I had anticipated. So I went back to a good old stand-in - https://levifiction.wordpress.com/2018/ ... dient-map/

This script does not use an adjustment layer so it's less flexible, but it does a good job of simulating an actual gradient map. This got me the closest to the result in the video. Though a screenshot of the video gave me more of a cyan/greenish color than my self-made gradient did.

Finally I created a new script that let's me use the Adobe Color website to extract gradients from images, and then import those gradients into PSP for use with the Gradient Map script I posted above. You can get that script here - https://forum.corel.com/viewtopic.php?p=396502#p396502

And just because I know it'll sound complicated, here's a video demonstrating the whole process (no audio) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t4BhBJ ... sp=sharing

You will need an Adobe account (free) to do it this way.

How this all works:
1) Download the GradientMap and ImportAdobeSVGGradient scripts and unzip them into your Scripts-Trusted folder
2) Go to https://color.adobe.com/create/image-gradient
3) Upload an image and pick how many colors you want for the gradient
4) Hit Save to save the gradient to you Creative Cloud account (again free)
5) At the bottom of the screen a green pop-up will have a link to "View" the new gradient
6) Hover over the download icon and select "Download SVG"
7) Inside PSP select the ImportAdobeSVGGradient script and run it, an open file dialog will open, navigate to your downloaded svg file and select it
A message box should appear telling you that the gradient was successfully imported
9) Grab the image you want to apply the gradient map to
10) Run the GradientMap script
11) Adjust to your liking. Re-run it if you want to change the gradient handles or invert the gradient.
