    Default An unstable effect

    I just cannot hold a camera still resulting in the image.

    Was this done in Xara, Rich?

    Gary,

    I did take the picture with camera. It is photo of a Christmas cactus flower. Hand held. I cut the image from the background in Xara. Then made pivot arm brush, and applied it to a straight line with a profile.

    Hi Rich,

    Would it be possible for you to do a small tutorial on how you did this......words don't always work for me, I sometimes need to see pictures and steps to get it.

    Thanks either way,

    Great drawing.
    Ed......:-)

    Ed,

    I was trying to photograph the flowering plant. The image just turned out that way because I suffered nurve damage due to a blood condition. I very seldom draw because of other effects. I thought this was interesting and drew around the image with the Shape edit tool. At least I can still do something. Then used combine shape and intersect to get the foreground image. Made a bitmap copy of a redced size for the brush. Brushes rotate at the center of the graphic. I changed the center of rotation by adding a transparent line and groouping the two. The freehand tool lets you define the graphic as a brush. I drew a straight line and selected a line profile from the line gallery. Then edited the brush with the available paramaters.

    Similar thing with a blend. Drawn in Xara and colored in E3.
