Re-do previous split fountain art as process

(1/3) > >>

Frog:
Like the heading says.
Thirty years ago, I ran a lot of split fountain jobs. This particular one is a holdover that I'd like to update to process. (this particular design will probably always go on white shirts)
So, in CorelDRAW X6 I play around in Fountain Fill, see the option for a custom number of colors, but brain fart away any past knowledge of how to do it! It's something to do with Intermediate Fill(s) but can't figure out how to even make that option live.

inkman996:
Are you asking how to do this with out there being white between the fades? If so I always do it manually by eye my self. I know some automated programs like Advanced artists can do it automatically.

Frog:
I need the yellow to fade gradually into the orange, which fades into the red, which fades into blue and then to green. Like the one I printed with actual inks blending together.
In CorelDRAW's Fountain Fill, it seems to offer the option of more than two colors, and even has a place to enter intermediate colors, but for the life of me, can't remember or figure it out. Ater starting with yellow, I'd like to be able to move the slider just a bit  to the right (rather than all the way to the end), and add orange, then a little more and add red, etc.

When you first start a fade with the Corel function it only gives you two nodes, one at each end. You can drag a color onto the fade line anywhere you want and more than once. The problem is sepping. That is where I do it manually. So I get proper over lap of each color to the next.

Not worrying about the sepsing yet, I'm still just trying to figure out how to drag a color or insert a color anywhere other than the beginning and end points. What do I drag?
