XXP & Akvis Sketch

Made a duplicate and applied Sketch. Colorization at 100%. Locked the effect and made a bitmap copy. Prevents Sketch from running again to make the bitmap copy. Placed the image in the bitmap gallery. Deleted the Sketch version. Used the Sketch bitmap copy with the Sketch image in the gallery to make the onscreen version transparent. Placed the transparent version over the original image and aligned. Drew a rectangle snapped to the image set. Set the color to gray, and applied eliptical saturation transparency. Adjusted the ellipse and shade to control the amount and location of the saturation effect.

Sunland,

I have one that looks like a leaf. Only saw it one time.

Does it work with Xara Xtreme v. 3.2 ?
I can't repeat it

I haven't installed 3.2 and don't know myself. Akvis tests their software with Xara, and you could ask their support group. They have always been very responsive. You might ask the question in a new thread. Your question may get lost otherwise.

I see a version 4 is available. As far as I can tell, it is a free upgrade.

Do you see the plugin in the plugin list?
