Hi Lajos!

To be honest, there are a lot of things which can either help or hinder the sharpness and clarity of colors. A lot can depend on the gradient you choose for your design. Sometimes darker gradients and singular hued gradients work better on a design rather than full-spectrum, multicolored ones.

Gamma "dust" can also be a big factor in clarity. I often keep it set between 1.72 and 2.36. Again, depends on the design that I'm working on and the end results that I want to achieve. Another factor is rendering quality. The higher the rendering quality, the sharper and more clear your colors and over all design will be.

Something else that I do; is under the "Transform" screen, I go to the tab marked "Colors" and move the slide bar back and forth until I get the results that I want. It's mainly just...mmm, exploring and experimenting with gradients until you find what you like or think best fits the design. At least, that's how I do it. I enjoy using all kinds of colors, as you can see by my works, and I rarely render monochromatic designs. For some reason, that's just not me.

Anyhow, Lajos, I hope the above makes sense and answers your question. If not... I can only plead lack of sleep.

I thank you so much for asking your question! It's really very appreciated as is your feedback. And you for giving it.

-Morgan

My hats off for you - you get amazing results with Apo. I have tried it myself but I never came near the level your work is on! But if I do I will use your comment as a resource, thanks!
