Hi Guillermo, THANKS --- that did it! 1. Create new image. 2. Right click Image / Tools / Paint Tools / Blend. 3. <Image> / Dialogs / Tool Options. 4. Configure Blend tool as desired. 5. Click, drag, release... tadaaa, a gradient! My mistakes were not doing step 2 at all, and I didn't know that I had to CLICK AND DRAG in the image to cause the gradient to appear. Thanks to EVERYONE ( Alex, Guillermo, Carol, Miguel, Zachary) that responded to help. =======Keith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guillermo S.
