Tip from Erik Heyninck
1. import bitmap
2. trace bitmap
3. mould to circle
4. draw another circle with the same dimensions.
5. make this second one a sphere in shadowy (blueblack) hues to pure white.
6. put it on top of the bitmap (be patient as Xara needs to calculate)
7. make a little sphere with transparent edges in, in this case yellowy green and put this on the highlight.
8. create the reflection by combining two spheres to get a moon of greenish yellowblue
9. play with transparancies, feathering etc
10. group and export as Jpeg or Tiff
You can also try Sean's SS Mould tool as well.
