Absolutely right Min'
I like the blurry effect to some photos.
I have started a new thread to explorer Xtreme Bokeh :)
Two photos, one blurred, one sharp, elliptical transparency. Kid stuff, minimiro :rolleyes:
Workbook 26 Focusing on One Object
Thanks everyone for showing what's possible!
I don't still fully understand how I can replicate it though.
Minimiro, I really liked you one, but I can't open your .xar file properly because I only own Xara X not the latest version.
Did you use a plugin, or did you use only vectors? Could you please show a simple and quick step-by-step to show us how you made it?
Thanks to all.
Hi - you can do this in xara x
basically it is as in Gary's workbook 26 - but the tools are in different places
for adjusting the brightness
utilities > bitmap effects & plugins > bitmap effects > brighness and contrast
and for blur
utilities > bitmap effects & plugins > special effects
and select blur from the drop down menu - I used blur [high] in the example. and adjusted the slider
Nope, no plugins used, only basic vector shapes, and transperency
only blur is created with feather on vector shape... I cant remember well did in Xara X has feather....

Layer 1 - simple black restangle
Layer 2 - white shape with mix transperency and feather
Layer 3 - restangle with Alt rainbow gradient fill with 0% stained glas transperency
Layer 4 - some of the shapes from layer 2 are copied here, just to give us more brightnes here-there, important is that all shapes are grouped and have aplyed Saturation transperency to new group
Layer 5 - same like layer 4, but this time are copied all shapes from layer 2, and again after grouping them added Saturation transperency
That it is :)
Simple but effective
The coloured circles are really quite beautiful - I love the simplicity.
yours is the winner for me too
[there is feathering in xara x ]
