I cheated a bit Harry! One I made earlier - a couple of months ago

Aridzone had the idea to use the hexagons for a template design and I changed the pic and turned the hexagons into links for a website idea, the .web is here post#46 if you want to have a look.

EDIT The .web is a bit large, but there's a working mock-up here

MouseOver's and basic links work.

Hah! I see how you are. Seriously, though, very clean and neat. Bang up job, John.

You are most welcome. I hope you learned something by ripping my file apart. Nothing really amazing but I do like a good ClipView operation. That's one tool I probably use, abuse, misuse and over use. As you can plainly see by my file.

Later,

I know it isn't hexagons, but here are several different effects combined with a single photo collage to make a framed print.

Breakin' up (photos) is fu-un to do-oo,

Neat image Harry!

Haytay, I got it now. You only need to make one clipview, 1/4th the size of the image, and copy it 3 times. I can then move the photo around inside the clipview to position it where I want. Think that's it.

Very pretty 'window' flowers you made there.

Nancy,

There you go. Now you've got the hang of it! ClipView is one of the cooler tools in Xara Xtreme. Like I said, I probably overuse it, but who cares as long as it gets the job done.

I'm glad you liked the sunflowers.

Check out the next one...,

I had some serious photo fun with this one. I combined the Single Picture Collage effect with some OOB (Out-Of-Bounds/Out-Of-Border) Photo manipulation to produce the attached image.

For more fun with OOBing check out Meia's OOBing Thread. Burpee even has an OOB submission or two there that she's probably forgotten about.

Way too

Neat!

Lots of work in that

Thanks for reminding me of that thread. It was one of my favorites and everyone did such cool work for it. Well worth a second 'look-see'. I like the rocket too....where'd you get such a great pic to work with? Were you there to snap it?
