missing rastizing photos

[Egg Bramhill]

Thanks Pawel for clarifying that. Both my attachments where created in Xara. What you need to do is import a photo into Xara, select the Camera tool then select the FX tool (Live Effects) from the fly-out. This gives you the option to apply all sorts of included plug-ins. I created both mine using the Art Filter Painting plug-in.

I think the confusion came about because of the use of the word rasterisation, which normally means creating a vector graphic (or mix of vector and raster [bitmap] images) into a raster image for printing. As both Mike & Gary stated this is the function of the Printe. Illy / Corel Draw & Xaras use of plug-ins to create these dotted effects are entirely different and are for creating standalone images.
