Opening and saving gradients

Gradients are saved in gradient files (*.ugr). A gradient file is a plain text file that can contain any number of gradients, so you can store and organize sets of gradients.

		To save a gradient, click Save on the More menu. The Save Gradient browser will open. You can save the gradient in an existing gradient file or in a new file. Type the name of the file and the title of the gradient and click Save.
		To open a previously saved gradient, click Open on the More menu. This opens a gradient browser. Select the gradient file that contains the gradient that you want to open, and then double-click the gradient inside the file. The gradient will open in the gradient editor, replacing the current gradient in the fractal.

Notes

• When saving a gradient, you can choose to save only the color or opacity parts of the gradient with the Save Color and Save Opacity checkboxes.
• Another way to open gradients is to click Browse on the File menu. A modeless browser will open. Make sure the file type is set to Gradient Files, and then locate the gradient you want to open. Drag it from the browser to a gradient tool window to open it.
• Palette files in Fractint's MAP format (*.map) can be opened just like other gradient files.
