I have been using CorelDraw since the day it came out. Just had to say that so the forum would know i do know my way around Coreldraw.
My PC systems rock!! all i7's, 32 ram, SSD, high end graphics cards.
Corelx8 STILL drags, slowest Corel yet. Had to get that off my chest.
Now to my problem.
I have a gradient fill (CMYK) top is 100% yellow to 100% yellow 100% black. If i click on the slider and add another point, it will show me what the gradient color is.
Lets say i click about 75% to the top of the slider bar, IT should be a fill of about 100% yellow and 25% black. IT does not!! it shows it as an RGB color, once i convert that color to CMYK.
it has a percentage of Cyan AND magenta as well as the yellow and Black.
IT should only contain percentages of Yellow and Black.
Can't someone explain what is going on, and how to (BY default ) use CMYK.
We print T-shirts as well as car wrap vinyls.
Thanks,
Dave
On my system you fountain fill build works fine.
Let me get to my X8 system and make sure non of my 2017 behaves like that. Is your document in RGB or CMYK mode?
I your system specs but is it a laptop or a desktop?
I cannot replicate this in X8 or 2017, can you be specific on your procedures.
Working from what NUTTZ33 has described already...
Primary color mode of document is CMYK.
Draw a rectangle, then apply a fountain fill. In this case, I used the Interactive Fill tool.
Check, and see that the color nodes are CMYK. Set one to Y100 K100. Set the other one to Y100.
Fly the eyedropper over the rectangle, and see that the colors reported contain only Y and K:
Add another node to the fountain fill. Check the color, and it initially comes up in RGB:
Switch to CMYK, and see these values:
Fly the eyedropper again, and see that the fountain fill, owing to the C and M components of the new node, now has C and M throughout:
Manually editing the color for the new node can get the fountain fill back to only Y and K.
