Transparent cigarette smoke

Nice effect indeed Steve L - very effective

Rowby open up the xar file that contains the smoke brush together with the xar file that you are working on.
In your working file select the freehand tool [f3] and you should then be able to choose the smoke brush from the brush options.
Once you have used this, you can close the smoke brush file, and the brush will then remain in your working document.

Got it! Lots of other great brushes on that link. Now I can take advantage of all these great new "brushes"


Thanks!

When you open the file, the brush is automatically placed in the Line Gallery New Brush Strokes folder from where you can apply it to any path.

If you right click on on any color on the screen palette with a smoke line selected, the color with change to the color you clicked (see attached).

These brushes are gone when you close Xara except in the XAR file. If you want to have certain brushes available all the time, save them in:

C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme (or Pro)\Templates\Brushes

The name of the brush will appear in its own folder in the Line Gallery.
