Mould in Xara

[gwpriester]

Tony - The reason I moved this thread to Dear Xara is Dear Xara is primarily where members can report bugs and request new features. It is the place the developers look to see what features are being requested. I would love to see a real bitmap mould tool function.

Tony what settings did you use?

I can see where this could be adapted to bitmap envelopes.

Maximum accuracy, minimum smoothing. Then play around with the other settings to obtain maximum realism. Not suitable for all images.

Self-evidently. In not waiting until all discussion on current possibilities have been exhausted you appear to be putting your own wants in front of your duties of a moderator.

"... putting your own wants in front of your duties as a moderator?" C'mon Tony, you're talking to a guy who is a volunteer and has more that 33.5 thousand (mostly kind and knowledgeable) posts under his belt trying to assist and inspire all of us! In my view he is one of the main reasons why these forums are generally a friendly and constructive place.

I consider moving this thread to the 'Dear Xara..." forum appropriate because the mould functionality is really up for an overhaul and, as one of the devs let us know, it's technically feasible.

Anyway, the discussion can continue in this thread, nothing lost. I appreciate you sharing your workaround.

Yeah, If control over the the pressure profiles were possible it would make a great quick workaround.
I know it's not directly on topic but it's related in that matter. (and within my top 3 missing features!)
