Thanks for posting the .xar file Avilator.
One thing that puzzles me is the Palette.gif that you have in the background.

What purpose does that serve? Can you use it to create colors and if so how? I would be interested to know. Thanks again for the file (and the original image LOL)

Hi Richie... The palette is my technique for picking Panton colors... In simple words: I just used Prinscreen to the palette in CorelDraw and saved the palette in Xar template... So instead of naming each color (which will take hours) I used this background file... it doesn't serve any purpose in the woman's picture, I just load it automatically every time I make new file.

It's really useful: If you don't want to name the colors just make this palette ( I used CorelDraw - since it hada the colors I wanted). This enables you to pick colors more quickly using the color picker...

You should Download the color harmony from Xara's freeware downloads:
