Thursday Tip: Tint Your Fills and Outlines

Yesterday's post was really long, so I'm going to keep today's post really short. That's just fine as this tip gives you a lot of bang for your buck.

You've filled an object in CorelDRAW with a solid color. The color looks good, but may be wish it was a little darker or a little lighter or had more yellow in it. No problem. With the object selected, hold down the Ctrl key and click on a color in the palette. It will add around 10% of the color you clicked to the existing fill. So click on black to make it darker, click on white to make it lighter, click on Yellow to add more yellow, etc.
