Pixo Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi there, How do I achieve the effect of a rubber stamp like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2015 I've not made a fantastic job of the texturing work, but fundamentally like this?... Take a look at my (not very good!) file. Stamp.afdesign It's a rounded rectangle with a red stroke, red text in the middle and then I grouped the two together. Then I went to the eraser tool (it's in the Pixel Persona in Designer, or the Photo Persona in Photo) and chose a big textured brush and just brushed all over my group - that erases parts of it out, as if they hadn't been stamped properly. Hopefully that makes sense? :) Thanks, Matt Signguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busenitz Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 this is something I really miss from CorelDRAW. It could be easily achieved through a bitmap transparency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted August 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 24, 2015 this is something I really miss from CorelDRAW. It could be easily achieved through a bitmap transparency. ...if you have a transparency bitmap you can just use it as a bitmap fill on a rectangle and then use that rectangle as a mask for your group. It's the same thing but in one more step. We can obviously add transparency bitmaps - it's no problem! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busenitz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 CorelDRAW will actually do a transparency from a JPG (no transparency.) Having said that, as much as I do really miss several things from CD & Paintshop Pro - I also really love AD and AP. I was not a dissatisfied user of Corel, on the contrary, my Corel software is what kept me from moving to Mac sooner. After too many of Windows' Blue Screens of Death, I made the switch thinking I was going to lose a lot of my crafting abilities (for quilting, card making, scrapbooking, vinyl wall art, etc., etc.) So I was thrilled to hear of AD's beta launch shortly after my switch. I do want to balance all my "WANTS" with much appreciation! MattP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
