Gary the tutorial is great as always. However, I'm having problems with the Blend Tool within XDP7. I hope one of the developers can explain what I am doing wrong or have set incorrectly.

I have noticed that too.

Edit: I stand corrected now I can't make it happen! but I swear I did see this behaviour a couple of days ago on something else I was working on

If the circle is rotated this can happen. And, yes, strange things do happen with the Blend Tool. It used to be rock solid and you could blend a group of mixed objects including bitmaps and shadows. Those days are far behind.

I wish the blend tool still worked like that.

Thanks Gary, the problem was caused by me copying the 40pix and 30pix circles and vertically flipping them to change the light & dark from top and bottom.
