12.7.1. Q2ID Gradients and Blends

1. Diamond and Rectangular Gradients convert as Radial Gradients with unpredictable results.
2. QuarkXPress also has Radial and Full Radial gradients whereas InDesign only supports Radial.

In QuarkXPress if you place a radial gradient in a box and resize the box, the gradient resizes and can look elliptical, whereas in InDesign if you resize a box with a radial gradient in it the radial gradient still stays round and simply resizes, its geometry is not altered.

*If a Blend does not appear on the InDesign Swatches palette, select the object until the color appears on the Color palette and drag it to the Swatches palette.

!If your QXP doc used gradients, you will need to closely inspect the gradient once Q2ID has converted your file and make adjustments to the “Location” parameter in InDesign’s Gradient window to fine tune the look of the converted gradient
