RE: Xara Equivalent of PS 'Select Color Range' Tool

[jmanganelli]

Look in the Help file under "Erasing backgrounds". In your profile it says that you're using XDP X10, so I'm not really sure if the feature as it exists in the current version was already available in your version.

Thank you for the guidance, Boy.

The results were very poor.

For reference, here is the starting graphic:



And here is the Xara result versus the Affinity result.


The results in Serif Affinity were as I expect and I've only used it for a couple hours whereas I have a couple hundred hours into Xara at this point and the results are unacceptable.

Have I missed something? It seems the Erase Background tool works well if there is strong contrast between the background and the foreground object, but that it cannot handle a gradient very well.

Is there a better way to use Xara to get the effect that I'm seeking?

Thanks,
Joe
