Hello,

I'm trying to create a 3d mirrored box shot, similar to what is discussed in this link, basically I need the same effect.

http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...ghlight=moulds

We had "boxhots" already created in XARA, and I have tried to create the mirrored effect as follows:

1. Box shot consists of front panel & side panel, a non-moulded copy and a copy of each moulded to make the box.
2. Clone & copy front panel, flip, move down and apply transparency
3. Clone and copy side panel, flip, copy front panel and apply attributes to get same transparency.
4. Copy mould and apply to both front panel and flipped from panel, adjust as needed.
5. Repeat for side bar.

At this point, it looked pretty good ( for my skill level anyway!), but if I save the file and re-open it, the transparency is gone.

I am running XARA 3.2.4.3017 CD on Vista 64, running in XP SP2 compatibility mode.

Any ideas? A better way to create this effect?

Thanks!
