Is it possible to put a speech bubble on a layer for use as a popup? In this case it would be a layer on a layer. I can draw a graph and I can import a jpg, but can't get the speech bubble on a layer.
What technique should I use to make the edge of a video reel border the speech bubble, like in the attached sketch. I've already traced the speech bubble and the exclaimation mark.
I have an original copy of Corel Xara that I purchased many years ago.
On the disc is a huge amount of clip art and other items, I tried to incorporate these into the Designs Gallery but whilst I could get the graphics to work I could not get the images to show in the drop downs against the icons in the designs gallery. I just got a grey blank panel with the graphic name. This means that I still have to search through the manual to find a specific graphic.
Fortunately I also have the 500'ish page manual (approx 100 per page) for the clip art/symbols/fonts/etc..etc.
I may not use many of the graphics but it would be good to be able to install selected images with the pictures.
Whenever I make a new style in a 2012 AutoCAD file for a Detail Callout, I can create the callout bubble but the text entered for sheet numbers goes to another layer. I've searched the web for a solution to this, but I cannot find one. Everything is set to "By Layer" in the callout, so I'm not sure why the text is going to another layer. The linework aside from the text all appears on my current layer.
Every time I launch Xara, I want the page and layer gallery to be at "layer level" mode, however it is only showing it at "page level" mode. Is there a way to make it default to layer level? It can get pretty redundant to have to click on that page to open it every time.
is there a way to separate music from speech and SFX? I want to keep the music out ONLY, so I can re-write it.
I understand 5.1 has 5 channels, so are the speech & SFX separated from the music?
By the way, it's enough to have only ONE channel with ONE type of sound (i.e. music), because then I can extract it and reverse-phase it to (partially) cancel out it's equivalent from the master audio track. It's not perfect but enough.
A project I'm working on needs Speech Bubbles with text in them. I Couldn't find this option anywhere.So I started creating the bubbles in PSP x4 and overlaying them in.This works but its a pain when you need 100 of them.Is there an easier way builtin to VideoStudio X4 Ultimate that I can use.
I want to be able to make nice, attractive boxes similar to cartoon character type boxes with tapered connectors pointing to the characters mouth or at least to the character. The boxes contain text, i.e. what the character is saying; or in some cases (with little bubbles instead of the tapered pointer).
I think those are called "callouts", but I have also seen the word used to describe a single line.
Now....
How do I do this in Photoshop? What I have been doing is using the elliptical Marquis tool, then painting (or using Clouds on a filter) to create the box, then the line tool to make the arrows; then the text tool to put in the text. This is not only time consuming but produces distinctly inferior looking results.
i edit video tutorials in Photoshop CS6. The voice is on its own mono audio track. The voice track will be cut multiple times within Photoshop to adapt to the ongoings in the video. After editing the audio track in Audacity (or sometimes Audition) i wonder which file format i should use for the audio – so that i can import it and easily cut it in Photoshop CS6.
I used MP3 192 kBit, but it seems that sometimes i cannot exactly mark the millisecond where i want to cut. The marker bar jumps around and I get uncontrollable results. Of course this can be a general cache problem, but i wonder if there is a certain audio file format that's best to edit (file can be uncompressed and large). I do make long pauses in speech in order to get more easily cuttable tracks.
If i use MP3, is VBR more difficult to edit? Should it be another file format altogether? Photoshop CS6 imports these audio file formats:
AAC, M2A, M4A, MP2, MP3, WMA, WM,
some of which can't be written with the audio softwares i use.
I'm looking for a solution to keep on using Inventor despite severe RSI problems.I'd like to customize a whiteboard for zooming, panning, rotating opbjects, right clicking and no double clicking,etc... I'm already using 3Dconnection. Any whiteboards that allow customisation with specific software(i.e. inventor) on top of windows 7
I'm trying to use Dragon speech with inventor, Is it possible through VBA or other 'scripts' to get this done? Are there any existing smart softwares to perform these actions.
I have recently began using Windows 7 speech recognition with my Photoshop elements 10 software. It works wonderful. Now that I have all of my "routine" tasks with verbal commands I can focus on what I am drawing rather than spending much time clicking menus and tapping keys :-) I would like to expand my verbal commands to be able to set the options in all of the "option tools menus" and it would be great to pick items from the drop-down menus.
Can speech-to-text analysis work with .wav files? This option is greyed out. The .wav file does not have any associated video content. Is there another Adobe program which offers speech-to-text converison?
I've just started trying to make a GIF animation with Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013. The program allows you set a frame as a "layer". The Xara help manual says that the layer frame will go over the previous frame in the animation. However, I haven't been able to get this to work. Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. But what? (or elaborate) on the use of layer frames in a Xara GIF animation?
I went to lock a Layer (the whole layer) and could not - I had to Lock the item IN the Layer (one item: and the Layer still did show as Locked).I have a screen shot; but, it's been a bit & I don't see how-to attach it.Plus, shouldn't I have been able to Lock the Layer & the item in it? Is this a Bug?
I'm used from XDP6 to having the P&L Gallery stay the size I set it to - whereas in XDP7, when I press 'Pages' to reduce the listing into page names only - the panel suddenly shrinks to the left, given that the names only occupy a small space. This bugs me, esp at it shunt the page I'm working on to the left by the same amount as well.
I'm trying to design a flyer for a foam party and I want a bubble effect for the text. What approach do you think will produce the best effect? Here's a flyer with an effect similar to what I want (look at the word FOAM).
I am trying to create a brush of a bubble. The end result I want is a colored bubble with a white shine like in this tutorial [URL]...... I am trying to make it into a brush so that I can replicate it easily and add an overlay to make the color.
I am having difficulty getting color in the middle and white as the edge/shine. I keep getting color as the shine and white in the middle. I suppose I am doing something wrong with the choice of white, black, gray, and alpha while making the brush.
I'm new at Xara Xtreme and I just bought a vector image from iStock. It says that the image can easily be edited. Here is the image [URL]....
I want to split things up and move each individual globe and put arrange them to my specifications. I can't figure out how to move or edit the individual objects, it's all one layer. Can this be done? For example can the globe with the numbers around it be moved to the left of the screen and the other four globes be removed? I know this can be done with technical skills, but can this be done by a beginer?
Been a while since I've been here. Life interfered
I've just upgraded to Xara P&G Version 6 from Xara Xtreme 4. ( I know, I know what took me so long right? ) Well, Xtreme was doing everything that I required and as such never felt like upgrading but have finally done so. Still getting the hang of the new functions and facilities.
One thing that is bothering me is the new Layers task. In the older version, any imports or changes I made were always done on the active layer. In the new version something strange seems to be happening. Every time I import a new object, Xara automatically adds a new dedicated layer for the object. This means that I am ending up with tons of layers
Am I doing something wrong? Or can I change any setting so that Xara does not automatically add a new layer. I much prefer the facility of the old version where it was up to the user to add new layers as required.
I am switchin over from photoshop and would like to do the following
1) Select a color: I have a logo with a green and red text and would like to select only the green text. The logo is a flat file so I do not have access to the text-layers. (In Photoshop I would now use the "select color range" tool)
2) Keep the selection of the color active (as a selection)
3) Create a new overlay-layer and fill the selection with a blue color.
I am wondering if Xara supports layers in the same way as my other graphics programs. I am able to bring a bitmap into a layer over another bitmap layer and by applying a particular mode, lets say Overlay or Soft Light, it will change the appearance of the new layer. By doing this I build up new designs for digital papers.
