Gradients from corel to flexi!!!!

[Signsforwhile]

Having trouble exporting a gradient into flexi dx. the gradient is gone and when i try to recreate in flexi i get a slight color shift......any advise?

I don't really know anything about either of those programs, but logic would lead me to ask the question: Can you export from corel to a third party software (ie. eps or ai) and then import that file into flexi??

both the eps and ai cause it to loose the gradient.

Importing/exporting files with gradients usually doesn't go well. Rasterize it or just recreate it in Flexi.

There is no way to create a vector out of the gradient with steps? Or will that look horrid?

I'd rebuild the gradient in Photoshop. When exporting a gradient from CorelDRAW to EPS or AI, it converts it to a bunch of vectors ... 256 of them, I believe.

I know of no other solution. Sorry.

Hmmm? I don't use Flexi. But I'm wondering if building the gradient in it might fix the problem (anyone?).

If so, don't apply a gradient in Corel. That'll save you welding the objects back into a single vector. Then apply the gradient in Flexi after importing the Corel EPS (no Tiff header).

It's worth a shot.

The problem I'm having is for some reason there is a color shift in Flexi when I try to recreate it. I've really never had this problem before!!

Sorry, Hud. Wish I could be more help.

Common Flexi dudes! Someone knows :^)

I'm working on exporting it as an image. Really wanted to print this from vector. We'll see how it goes!

Simple. Save the Corel file as a ai. 3. It'll save the gradient as vectors.

Gotta thank Fred for showing me this.
