    Default Re: Help creating this "glowing lines" effect

    Hi Scott,
    Xara isn't able to handle (read render) that EPS file correctly because it relies heavily on blend modes that Xara doesn't support directly.
    You can however achieve similar results using the tools Xara provides. I remember i've used similar effects before in some stuff I've done. They are somewhere in my old PC.
    Another thing that makes the file problematic to work with is that it uses symbols (with blend modes) repeated over and over again in different scales and positions, making the rendering a very complex process. Best way to go about it is to separate one of those symbols and check it out separately in another document.
    It would be great if they added some more blend modes to the transparency tool (like color dodge). It would make things easier. A nice request to add to Dear Xara.

    [EDIT] Here´s some examples created entirely in Xara (cropped from a portfolio pdf, i´m looking for the original XAR file):
    - OpenOffice nº3 ,
    - Image created for a Stop & Post thread although not exactly glowing
    - some old text effects (960)
