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

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! :)

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!
