Tutorial-Installing .GRD Gradients into PSP
Hi everyone,
*edited*
I had originally written this for my own icon journal, as my gradients are .GRD files which are for adobe, but they also works in PAint Shop Pro, but found some people did not know how to install them into PSP. I realized that all the info in this community on how to do so were in comments, so I thought maybe this would be of use here,too. I really hope it makes sense, any questions please feel free to ask, and I promise to answer, though I cannot promise I will be right.

One of the most common questions I see around various communities is something like "I downloaded gradients and placed them in my gradient folder in 'My PSP' and they aren't showing up?"

Okies kids, your halfway there, but many don't realize that there are a few more steps to get you on your blending way. So here goes.

Obviously, download your gradients and unzip them first.

1. (a) Go to your materials palette:


(b) And pull up your gradient panel:


2. (a) No, your gradients have not been installed yet, which is why they are not being shown in the above preview panel. Choose any current gradient, even if it's a default one that came with psp. See that button on your gradient panel that says edit? Click it.

(b) This panel will pop up:

Choose the import button as shown.

(c) Yet another pop up window will appear:


Here is where you will locate where you saved your recently downloaded gradients to. Once you have that folder open within this pop up window, highlight the gradient you wish to install. I have chosen the gradient "baby love"(A) which is available at trash_graphics for example.

3. Click the import (B) button and your current selected gradient will now be installed, and should also now show in your list of gradients in the gradient panel.

And...that's it mes amis, I hope it helps.
