Animations with photos (ginger)

Once you have the images of a horses rear with no tail, and the image of just a tail, you can combine the two in Xara to create a simple tail swishing session.

Thank you Egg. Unfortanely, I didn't get very far.
1. Starting photograph: I assume you meant import from file menu to get the photo. That went OK.
2.a. Clone the photograph. I went to edit menu to clone the bitmap.b. I drew around the tail with freehand and brush tool.c.Select the tail and the photo. Here's where I run into trouble. So how do I select both the photo and the tail? Sorry to be such a ditz.

Hi Ginger,

Click on the shape you made, then shift-click on the bitmap. Then press CNTRL-3... You have a tail.
