Save fills and transparencies


After you create or modify a fill or transparency pattern, you can save it and add metadata such as name and tags in the language of your choice. Fills and patterns are saved in a special file format with a .fill extension, which preserves information about the transformations applied to the fill or pattern.

To save a custom fill or transparency

1 In the Fill or Transparency section of the Properties docker, click the Save as new button .
This button is available for fountain, vector pattern, and bitmap pattern fills and transparencies, but not for two-color pattern, texture, and PostScript fills and transparencies. For information about saving a two-color pattern fill, see To create a two-color pattern fill.
2 In the Create Custom [Fill Type] dialog box, choose a language from the list box, type a name for the fill or pattern, and type any tags that you want to associate with it.

Fills and patterns in your personal library are saved by default in your Documents\Corel\Corel Content\Fills folder. You can change the default location to which fills and patterns are saved. For more information, see Change content locations.

You can also save a fill or transparency by clicking the Save custom fill button in the Fill or Transparency picker.
