bitmap mold

[samrc]

A simple easy bitmap curve function would be lovely.

I am not sure if I understand this request! Is it a brush which could be selected from a variety that are supplied or that you can use either PS or PSP brushes in Xara?

He mean exactly bitmap mould Albacore
No brushes no other shits...

yep I agree, would be great to have such a function
to can deform bitmaps in some custom ways will be really usefull

I used to think this was needed for Xtreme too, but to be honest an easier to use tracer, converting bitmap to vector, would probably be a better solution, preserving edit-ability and freedom from resolution restraints.

I find the present tracer too complicated and hit and miss, I can spend hours fiddling with the settings.

Is it possible to swap tracer settings between users? If so, a collection of custom settings would be a useful resource.

I have often thought it would be convenient to have a mould tool for bitmaps. I have the work around of converting bitmap to a vector by using the bitmap tracer. This is to date acceptable for my uses. However, I can see how this would not be a suitable work around for other artists who need a better quality rendering. For the small bits I use the quality is not crititcal, but for others it might be.

A complete update of the mould tool would be ideal really, allowing more than 4 points, movement from points inside the mould and not just on the edge, and it to work on bitmaps too.
