I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask this :

How do you use gradients in PSP8? I know how to make them, that's no problem. But how do you get them onto your pic/icon/banner? I've checked the tuts in the memories, and didn't find anything suitable enough to let me explain this.

I'm a newbie at PSP8, although I'm fluent in PS.

edit: I figured it out. Floodfill tool.
