A waterfall example. Recoloring is somewhat desaturated, and I made a round white circular transparent brush in XXP. I set the brush to saturation transparency and painted over the folage areas.

An Akvis poppy painted with a saturation brush in XXP. Rich
amazingly, indeed
A fairly large image. It took a little while to process, but due to my system limitations. I locked the effect when it was returned to XXP.
Top is the original, middle is processed and the bottom is locally resaturated in XXP.

Will,
I make a round object in Xara with no line, and apply a circular transparency. Usually white of a lighter shade. Make a bitmap copy.
Use the freehand and brush tool to make a brush. Go to edit brush, fill properities, and turn off tile fills. Get a spacing you like.
Draw a path with the freehand tool, and set the transparency to saturation. Go to utilities and set the most recent attrubutes on.
I have probems getting the sequence just right, and you might have to try a little. You can adjust the saturation or make a brush of a different shade to control the amount of effect. Sometimes a white brush is way too much.
Then draw where you want to locally adjust saturation.
It is similar to drawing a filled rectangle filled with white and setting it to saturation. Just that now you can control the application by brushing on.
I always start with the recent attributed off. Otherwise it may not work to have a brush that paints with saturation. It would paint white, and you woould have to set it to saturation. The other way, you can see the effect as you paint.

A view of the brush before Saturation transparency. Seems to draw white and change to saturation transparency when ending the path. Nothing special. I set this to 90% to build the effect a little at a time.

Rich...
Thanks so much for taking the time to explain. This looks like an extremely useful tool to have in my workshop.
I truly appreciate it!

Greetings.
Any reason why the AKVIS SKETCH plugin does not work in XXP? If does load, it applies the effects, but when accepted, all I end up with in XXP is a ghost image and noting else... no borders, no pic (it vanishes), no effects...
I know it is there because if use the selection tool and drag around it, i can see the four corners of the original image... Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
