changing colors separately

@ Gary, No I never knew that either. It's a new one on me. Shame it doesn't give the new colour a new name though.

@ Thizzle, probably right but as I haven't got P&GD I can't say for sure. But the method of cut & copy to a new page, change the named colour pin to the new desired colour, copy & paste back into original file and choose don't match should work I think.

I'm making the corkboard graphic in Photo & Graphic Designer MX 2013 and can not change the color of each pin in individually. When i open gwpriester attached .web file in Web Designer 10 i can change the color of each pin.

It probably didn't work because i am using an older version of photo & graphic designer.

Then try Egg's method. It does work.

Not sure whether this is a bug or not ... Perhaps someone can either explain or recreate.

If you take one of the red pins, copy it and change it to another colour (for example: blue) and then create an alt rainbow blend (maybe 10 steps) between the two, the top always seems to have a highlight, that didn't change with the alt rainbow blend. It seems just like a fade blend. Or am I imagining things.

Can't see that Kieth. Can you supply an image showing this effect.

By the way I'm using P&GD9 ... That may make a difference. Also, something odd seems to be going on with the shadows, but that's another issue.

And wild colored shadows...

Not really certain what you want. How's this?

Hi Mike. I see you've got rid of the shadow colour shifts but I think Keiths main concern is the purplish highlights (circled)

Ah, I was concentrating on the very top. Then got carried away with fixing the shadows.

Normal blend, Rainbow, Alt Rainbow. There would still be one ellipse to fix to make it truly proper. Close enough.

Mike,

Egg's right .... I don't need it fixed, as I don't actually need it at all. My "concern" - although that's too strong a word - was why does the blend ignore that particular item? Shouldn't the blend have worked with it too?
