Thank you!!!! That worked great! I've been doing that with other plugins but wasn't sure if "filters" were the same thing. Thanks again. AND THANK YOU MIKE FOR POSTING THEM!!!

your welcome
sorry but the seamless plug is completely bizzarre- how did you make that seamless bubbles texture?

I don't think is is absolutely perfect. I generally isolate part of an image and make a repeating array in Xara. Then cut out a tile section. The plugin made is so there weren't bubbles overlaping. Rich
rich the result is awesome but I'm still not sure how you did this haha

Well, I went to the beach and photographed bubbles in the tide pools. Then cropped out part of an image for something smaller, and applied the filter. Just adjusted the parameters. Nothing more. Rich
you mentioned something of a repeating array, unsure what that meant- did you mean in the fill section?
In Xara, you can draw an object around a section of an image and make a clipview. Add feathering if necessary. Make the object a size that is easy on the math.
Duplicate the object in the X direction i.e.100 pixel increments. Then duplicate the duplicated group in the Y direction. You will get an array with the center being repeating in X & Y. Draw a rectangle at a a multiple of the duplication distance. Maybe 300 X 300 pixels. Place the rectangle over a repeating area. The palcement doesn't need to be exact. Put the rectangle behind and make a clipview. This will make a replicating tile in X & Y. I usually place the clip over a filled object made from a bitmap copy and save to JPG.
