 My tutorial is written for the graphic program
Paint Shop Pro 9.
It can be done in any other versions of PSP as well.
 

The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate how
a multi-colored gradient is made.

1. Click on the fore- or background color in the Color Palette.
A window will open with the options
"Color", "Gradient" and "Pattern".
Click on the 'Gradient' option.
Click on 'Edit'.


A New window will open.
Don't worry if it looks intimidating.
I will explain step-by-step what you need to know. :)
 

2. Now click on the 'New' - button.
Give your gradient your own unique name.
Click on 'OK'

 

Now for the fun part! :)

3. Click 3x on the area indicated with the red line below
New little weight icons will appear where you click.

There should be 5 weight-icons now.
Each one of them will be assigned a position and color.
Each weight can be assigned a different color,
by first clicking on the weight-icon (to activate it) and then
on the color field below
the location field.

If you right-click on the color field,
all you previously used colors will open in a pop-up field.
 

NOTE!!
In the fore- and background fields the right-clicking
option will not work.
You will also notice that these two colors won't be the same as the ones
you are assigning to each gradient icon-weight.
However, if you click on the fore- or background field
the color for the active weight-icon will change to that color.
So don't click on one of these fields if you don't want those colors
in your gradient!

 

4. Click on the first weight-icon.
The position is 0%. Now click on the color field
indicate above with the number '2'.
In the new color palette window opening,
change the color to #c19253.

 

In the next screen, you will see the colors and positions assigned to each
weight-icon.
Note: the active weight-icon has a black tip in each instance below.
The screenshot below is a compilation !!
 You won't see the same
Only one color bar with all the weights will be visible to you on your screen,ok? :)
Now change all the colors and positions as indicated below.

After you have changed all the colors, click on 'Close'.
You will be asked to save the changes.
Say 'Yes'.
 

And that's it.
It wasn't that difficult at all, right?? :)
 

This is how it can look like when you're done.

I hope this tutorial has been helpful to you.
Any resemblance to other similar tutorials is purely coincidental.
