Fills

Is it possible to make a 'Fill'? I use Corel's sky fills quite often
but the clouds are a bit dramatic. Can I take my own picture and use
that as a fill? If so how?

Regards and thanks

Corel has several types of fills, bitmaps, postscripts, combination
bitmap and corel script, and generated ones [somewhat like a fractal].

The generated ones are extremely tuneable and can be saved as a new
fillname if you create an effect you like.

You can also edit the .csc files and the bitmaps used for some of the
others.

Once you identify the type of fill your "clouds" is, google for
tutorials on creating your own... it isn't at all difficult.

Thanks for the response Lon but I'm afraid I'm a dimbo it's bounced off my cranium!

I have a Jpeg of a nice blue sky. Can you take it from there?

Do I save it as a BMP, where do I save it etc ??

Thanks

Patrick

Thanks

Patrick,

Click on the fill tool then do Ctrl+Backspace to bring up the "Edit Fill &
Transparency window. Select the Bitmap Fill and click the Edit button. In
the BitMap fill window click on the "Load" button. Navigate to your own
cloud picture and click the "Open" button. You can now use *your* clouds as
a fill.

Hope this helps.

Dave
