Eyecandy 4000 glass filter

Alan I cannot achieve that exact effect.

The instructions from the manual appear to be from the original EC4000 for Photoshop where a circular selection of empty pixel can be done.

The closest I have gotten after a half hour of testing.

Hi Bill,

I think I have a bit of a handle on it now.

Here's a picture I did:



The violet bunch is produced twice. The glass plate partly covers one copy and partly covers the woven table mat. The glass plate distorts the flowers and mat underneath where it is grooved.

Here is the xar file.

Very nice Alan, taking inspiration from your drawing I have at last started to get some decent results from the glass plugin, thanks!

Very nice indeed Alan, Recently I started testing Eyecandy 4000. The attached photo with glass effect is the result.

Alan, thanks for posting your file. It is much easier to see how it is done now that I see it

You're welcome. Actually, I'm thrilled that I figured it out because I am not too expert with Xara.

The problem is that Xara does not allow one to make a selection of an area because it is object oriented. I downloaded a trial copy of the glass goody and tried it in Paintshop, and it worked as I thought it would in Xara. So really what I did was a workaround.
