Fountain Fill Help

[Prosperi-Tees]

I am trying to do a fountain fill on an enveloped text. I have created the words seperately and together and whether I apply the fountain fill before or after envoloping it still turns out uneven. What am I doing wrong?

[Prosperi-Tees]

Oh geez, nevermind! I got to much going on right now. Duh! after enveloping go in and do the fountain on each word! ARRRGGGHHH

Or do a radial fill...

Fountain fill the text before you envelope it, export it as a .WMF, Import it then apply the envelope.

Thanks I'll try both. I'm still learning Corel. A course would help but no time now.

That is one thing I have been pushing for in the many Betas, is for a fill to follow shape.  Hopefully we will see this added soon yet as mentioned there are a couple ways to work around this and get the look you are after.  2 were mentioned already and another option is to use custom blends (of objects) and power clip into the text shape. 

After closer examination of your image, that is just a regular vertical, linear blend from solid blue at the bottom to white at the top.

I have 3 or 4 cds on training for Corel, I guess I need to find a day to really watch them .

The reason I like doing by my suggestion is its much faster and easier to get done, sometimes busting up the text into individual objects and fountain filling each one is time consuming because you have to adjust the angle on each object. Using radial fill has never worked for me, I think that is something Corel needs to fine tune.

I never break the text into individual objects and adjust the fills as you will never get it exact.
Your method does works well and you can also export as a postscript file and get the same result. 
Try creating a blend like I mentioned and power clip.  Should be less steps all together

i just tried your method, it works nice
but i tried to sep the color with no luck
is it possible in WMF.
thanks

You can't sep it because it is broken into a hundred lines of fill, what you can do is first lay out all your art the way you want it by color get approved then redo the fountain trick with black instead of the actual color, that will sep fine.

Richard another nice thing about my way is your not limited to any envelope, it can be compound envelopes with the same result, tho I will try your suggestion and see.

Works with any shape they way I mentioned. Not limited to just any certain envelope.

I actually have a tutorial on this yet I have to wait to publish it to the public. Hopefully will be able to do so in the next week or two yet I am at the hands of the man right now.
