A bamboo leaf with a green beach glass reflection map fill. The center was from an ice plant image at winter. I was trying this as a brush. Rich

Lots of pretty nice stuff here, Rich. I've been out of town over a month, so if I've asked you this already--sorry. What application is EGD?

I see these strokes you've displayed are probably what you explained to me awhile ago. Is there a way to view them at a greater size?

Twidder,

Expression Graphic Designer (EGD) Expression was developed by Creature House and was up to version 3.2 when the application was bought by Microsoft. Microsoft released a 3.3 non expiring version before continuine development. EGD is currently in beta and available for download. I remember reading something about March, maybe.

As strokes, the only way to view them is with the application. Just not a viewable format. Most of these are bitmap images into strokes. You can have bitmap and vector. They can be viewed as images or drawings.

You can also use fringes. I added a fringed drawing. I have about 100 fringes to do various things. EGD can read some EPS files, but not the flavor I have. I have resaving the files from Xtreme for use. I found the I could open AI format in EGD. I just isn't in the file open dialog.
