Dear Members,

Selecting different option from the color wheel in the blend docker can produce interesting effects.

  1. Open Corel DRAW.
  2. Draw square using rectangle tool. Fill it with red color.
  3. Draw another square using rectangle tool. Fill it with green color.
  4. Select both the shapes.
  5. Go to menu.
  6. Effects > Blend
  7. Keep the blend selected.
  8. Select “Miscellaneous Blend Options” tab.
  9. Please observe carefully.
  10. Select Map Nodes.
  11. You will find that the green circle is selected which is at the front.
  12. And you got the different kind of arrow cursor.
  13. Select top left point of the green square with this cursor.
  14. Now you get the red square selected which is at the back.
  15. Select bottom right point of the red square with this cursor.
  16. Press “Apply”
  17. The middle portion of the blend is turned into the smallest square.
  18. Hence the blend starts from the red original square, getting tapered, smaller in the middle and again becoming bigger and back to original green square when it reached to the last green one.
