Hi,
I have a problem with the fountain fill in Coral Draw X5. When I pick the 2 colors that I have want to use it doesn't show the same colors on the shape that I'm filling. It looks like this:
As you can see the gradient is not the same on the shape.. why is that?
Thanks in advance/ramo_and
Ok, Good. This is what I wanted to see :)
First of all, since you want to match the colors as in PS, I would sugget you download & install Adobe Color Management Module from the link given below. Its a free software.

After installation, start Draw and in Color Management - Default Settings, select Adobe CMM from Color engine dropdown. Under Rendering Intent, use "Perceptual", enable "Preserve Pure Black" check box & Primary Color Mode as CMYK.
Absolutely must! CMYK for print files. Dont even think of RGB :-).
Both systems must display exact same colors now. Enter the same CMYK values you use in PS. Also make sure the file in PS is CMYK.
ramo_and said:but I Coraldraw the RBG and CMYK looks the same
Thats because you have used the same palette for both the fills. For RGB colors you'll have to open up RGB palette (Window - Color Palettes - RGB Palette) and use color from there. That will give you bright RGB colors. The palette that comes up by default is normally a CMYK palette.
Ok.
Now I have another problem.. When I use the fountain fill the gradient isn't the same on different objects. For example I have a circle and a word, both fountain filled from hex code #dedede (light grey) to #ffffff (white) but the circles acutall fill is from #e0e0e0 (darker grey than #dedede) to white and the text is from #f1f1f1 to white.
Shouldn't they be the same??
