Gel filter

[gwpriester]

I just finished a review of several new products fromauto fx. One of these is their Dream Suite Gel Series filters.

I was disappointed that the fitlers do not work in Xara X (they do work in Illustrator 10). But if you have any of the bitmap editing applications, Photoshop, PaintShopPro, Photo-Paint, etc. you can create your images in Xara, export the images as bitmaps files and apply the filters in the bitmap applications.

In the attached image, I created the letters in Xara using the Freehand and Brush Tool, made the line width very heavy and the line joins and ends rounded and exported the letters black on white. I used the magic wand tool to select the individual letters and applied three different Gel filter types in Photoshop.
