How would I achieve something similar to Photoshop's Pixelate/Mosaic filter? I see this effect all the time and would like a simple way to duplicate it.
Thanks.

I'm not trying to do a fill. Maybe another example might help.
looks like you need to create a bitmap copy of whatever image that you want to use for this effect then just add any type of filter/effect to the Utilities/Bitmap Effects and Plug-ins menu. Then just apply it. I have added all sorts of plug-ins and effects to that menu. As long as they are in 8bf format.

If Ross is about he may know of such a filter for you. I don't particularly like filters that create effects like that so I don't have any on board here. This IS possible in XaraX just be patient and some one will come and help in time.

If you just need to pixelate then there's no need to use filters (except perhaps unsharpen).
In short, do like this:
1) import your bitmap (or create one in Xara)
2) duplicate the bitmap
3) resize the duplicate to 10% of the original
4) set view quality to Normal
5) create a bitmap copy of the resized duplicate
6) resize the bitmap copy to 1000%
7) create a bitmap copy of the resized copy
8) set view quality back to Anti-aliased, and the last bitmap copy should still be pixelated (while the first copy will be smoothed/anti-aliased)
9) place the last bitmap copy on top of the original bitmap, and apply a suitable transparency.
I now splitted the procedure into many pieces, but in practice it is fast and easily done. Below an example. Photo downloaded from freefoto.com.
