Radial Gradients
Radial Gradient fills a closed area or a selectionSelectionA selection is a defined region of your canvas that can be used to edit its content or to limit the application of painting tools (like a stencil). Technically, a selection is an 8-bit (grayscale) mask image which defines the selected vs. masked areas of the canvas. with colors smoothly blending outwards from the center point.
The number of intermediate color steps is practically unlimited.
Color stops may have different opacity so the gradient may smoothly blend into existing artwork.
The repetition function may add complexity to the fill. See Radial Gradient Fill — options.
Application
Start from the center.
Drag out from the center point
The direction doesn’t matter here.
You are supposed to edit and add the colors after application of the fill. This is different than for example in Adobe Photoshop®.
There are no gradient presets in Infinite Painter.
Note that when you apply a gradient for the first time, it is based on the current Paint colorPaint colorThe color currently picked with the Color panel. All brushes and fills will use this color as their base color. The sample of the current paint color is always shown on the main toolbar.
In Infinite Painter there is only one “current” color (there is no concept of a “background color” for the brushes and gradients).. On subsequent fills the previous gradient is used.
You can edit the gradient unless you confirm it with the checkmark button (or until you close the tool).
