Thanks Stygg!

Yes, a little late for Valentines Day, but I did have a lot of fun with it. Thanks again for the great tutorial.

See my post under Gary's Advanced Image tutorial for another use of Stygg's fine tutorial. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Stygg!

Here is another try at it! I took the photo of the whitetail deer about two weeks ago, and I have been itching to do something with it ever since.

Welcome dadztoy!

I can't answer your question, but I'm sure someone else can. I just wanted to welcome you to the forum. A good place to ask an off topic question though, would be in the Off Topic section. (I believe this is just above the XaraXone section!)

I've moved Dad's Toys' post to Off-Topic. I believe Photostory is a MAGIX product, and the content of Dad's post relates more to pre-sales or something than it does Stygg's fractals.

Gee thanks for all your help "SUPER HELPFULL".......! I'll be sure to let others know how helpful you were.............. I beleive I did say something about my first time to this site................ Never mind. We'll figure it out ourself!

Hey, dadztoy, you might want to dial the attitude back a little.

I realize it's frustrating to hit a new board and not know where to post, but clearly this is the Xara Xone thread, as it says at the top of the page.

I didn't delete your post, I moved it. It's

right here, neatly marked and ready for anyone with experience to help you, unlike me.

If you need tech support on the product, it's right here.

My Best,

Gary

tx200man:

I really like the fish jumping out of the water. Could you give a few pointers on how to make the water (& colors) and how to make the splash?

Also, I thought it would be kind of neat to make the ground/water look like sand of a desert. Anyone willing to attempt this variation?

Or even snow! I tried to make snow, but it was so different than my deer picture snow that I just went with the snow in the deer photo.

Or even grass!
