Metallic colors?

[Big Frank]

I played around with your file a bit and this is what I came up with:

It must be a good design Coleen, it's catching

Frank that is terrific, seems like Coleen should really like that.
Drwyd I don't mean to slight you, that one is real nice too.
Coleen, that design is fun to play around with. Good job.

[Big Frank]

Thanks Wiz

That's a great aged surface effect you have there Drwyd

[Drwyd]

Cheers Frank It was a heavily modified photo fill (of trees )

It seems that Xara didn't like it as it chewed it up and crashed

Thanks to ALL of you! Wow, I really do like that one David, and Drwd, I really like the level of bevel (ha, I'm a poet!) on yours. The colors are just a bit too orange - but it is really nice. Yeah, this design was a bitmap image that I traced and colored for a guy. I made a few changes to the design too and came up with this one that I liked, but still did not get the level of bevel (ha - can we coin that phrase?) that I wanted. I'd be really interested in how you got yours to bevel like that Drwd. Thanks again to ALL of you - have I mentioned how much I love all of you for the help?

Hi Coleen, glad you liked it

Once the bevel has been created you can modify the strength of size, contrast, angle and elevation via the toolbar.

Also adding a drop shadow will help it pop out. see attached .xar file
