Background image

[Zakiyya]

Hi

Regarding the stethoscope.xar which I've uploaded, why is it that the background image with the stethoscope appears perfectly behind the text and the colour and border of the stethoscope image doesn't show through.

When I want to use a background image I remove all the background colour (using the intersect tool) and then place it behind the text. This is very time consuming.

I love the way the stethoscope is done and would like to know how it is achieved.

I will upload one of my Xara documents to further explain how I struggle to place an object in the background. I often change the colour of the whole picture to make it blend in. The problem with doing this is that even the image itself changes colour and not just the background. In the case of yellowSardoynx.xar, I would prefer the original yellow colour of the beads without the white background.

Hope this makes sense.
