Fractal Problem

[stygg2003]

Larry as you can see looking at the images, the fractal fill dis-places when I try to zoom in, if you go higher than 200% then you do see what appear to be tape. In image 13 you can see that I zoomed back to 100% but this time the fractal fill stayed dis-placed, I had to drag it a little and then click undo and it jumped into place? The transparency does not appear to dis-place.

Thanks Stygg. I want to work on this for awhile and see if I can figure out anything, Maybe someone will jump in with the answer. What fractal did you use? I am wondering if there is some sort of anomaly with the fractal itself. When I zoom in it looks like the same one that everyone else is using so that probably isn't the problem. I wonder if anyone else has encountered that.

I have been playing around with fractals quite a bit lately, I think it may be a memory issue but I'm not sure. I have had this happen sometimes. The only solution I have come up with so far is to create a rectangular section of your fractal texture, create a bitmap copy and use the bitmap to mold and clip in your drawing.

I also think this should be in the Xara Graphics Chat forum.

Larry the fractal I used was a fractal plasma 666 dpi-30FS

I get that a lot too. Especially when the file size gets big and complicated. Sometimes it helps to save the file with a new file name and continue with that.

Thanks for that Mike, I'll give that a try.

I am pleased to see others jump in and offer their help on this problem.

I am always glad to put in my 2cents worth! and a tip for creating a bitmap of your fractal texture if you are wanting to have a high res image for printing, you can use Bill Taylor's XaReg to set Xara to create a bitmap copy up to 1200 pixels! One more tidbit I also found that sometimes using the mold tool results in jagged textures but by using an old standby, the enhance live effect to add a bit of blurring makes all the difference in the world!

Thanks for those tips Frances, the problem I posted is just relating to the fractal plasma, I do'nt get the problem with fractal clouds oddly enough. The box drawing consisted of just fractal plasma and a linear stained glass transparency on each section of the box, maybe like you said a Ram problem, will check that out. :confused

I thought that maybe you were trying to replicate my cardboard texture from the Xara Xone tutorial thread, and just a hint if you are, my texture consists of more than one layer!
