ok.. this is the outcome attached..

When there is a solid color it ends up a solid shape.


I am having a devil of a time. I think the only thing I can do is to draw it scan it and then...

ok.. now lets see if that will work for me for what I need...



Thank you so much !! Will let ya know what happens.

I explained above why I can't use a white fill. It will create a black solid shape once I get it into Photoshop cs2.

I explain it up a few posts.

It doesn't work. I explained why up a few posts. :)

A-HA !! lol thats why it didn't work ! I was selecting the whole shape !

I still have SO much to learn with the tools in xara ! I just LOVE drawing in it and prefer it over AI ! I still am...

OK..What do i have to do to get the option for "break shapes" or "break points" I have it greyed out unless I "join shapes" but when I join shapes and then break shapes it doesn't do what I need.
...

that sounds right ! I will try that.. that will also be alot of work.. but I guess thats whats got to be done for me to get it right.

I didn't know exactly how that option worked.. so basically...

thats what i'm hoping I don't have to do !! :(



Well when I do paths then the lines are all jaggy.. that doesn't work. The only way for me to get smooth lines from xara is to do how I...

thank you !!! I'll do that next. :p

well let me explain further then...

once I export as an .AI file.. I open it in AI and then select all, flatten transparency, edit/copy then open Photoshop CS2 and paste as a shape layer. If I...

ok.. see how this looks... this is how I want my end result to look.. but I can't have a fill color of white or any other color or else when I export as an .AI file and try to use it I will have...

But in the end won't I still have all the overlapping lines showing? I need them to not show through the other leaves...

Maybe I should show you guys what I want it too look like in the end by...

ok.. so what will creating it as a brush help me to accomplish?

This isn't a smart alecy question.. lol I'm serious.. I know it might come across differently...

I totally appreciate the...

ok.. this is just a quick example.. I drew a holly leaf and want to move them around and have some appear to be behind and move them around and eventually have the shape of a wreath.. see how messy...

yes.. let me do up something real quick and that will help me in my poor attempt to explain !! :p

thank you !!

Ask and you shall receive !! Can't wait to try it !! :)

Is there a way to use the scroll for zooming in xara xtreme pro like in PSP?? I just love that option and miss it so much when its not available in a program.

Thanks.

Ok.. I'm not all that familiar with the "language" of xara xtreme pro.. but this is my question:

When I draw something with details.. lets say a xmas wreath for example.. I draw all the leaves and...

oh ok.. simple enough ! I'll try that and see if it produces different results !! thank you.:p

when you say convert them to shapes... how do you do that in xara? I'm wondering if I know how to do that already? LOL

I just need it to be 300 dpi for printing. Thats all that scrappers use. I...

Well.. Once I opened whatever I exported as a PSD file it was smooth as can be...but once I selected all and then "made a work path" and then "defined custom shape" it made it jaggy. Even though it...

I'm not sure that would work either. But I can of course try it.

lol.. i know..using three programs to complete something is a PITA but its the only thing I can do right now since I don't really know how to use illustrator for drawing. I'm quicker at it in xara. ...

thank you for the compliments... its something simple. I love to make digital scrapbook elements and kits so I love to try and draw some unique shapes and little cutesy stuff. I know that if I'm...

well thank you. I will look at it again and see what you did and see if it will work.

The problem with just making it a PSD file is that when you select it and define custom shape it gives you...
