Great! Now what's this got to do with the thread other than you have a different software than Flexi? I am so impressed.

Thanks PMG & Rep. I've done it the hard way for years.

it is very useful and to be perfectly honest I didn't think it could be done.

Super Tip

Could someone please explain the process of removing the background from the following:
Say I create some text in Flexi and then open it in Photoshop and then I want to bevel it and save it then open it in Flexi. This is where things get rough. I can open it, I can ungroup it, I can even unmask it but that damn backgroung is still there. Thanks

Thanks for posting this. Now, how do I put contour cut lines around the word and it's shadow without including the rectangle?

 

[Conor Knoxx]

wow.. that is cool!
I didn't think that was possible either.
True enough, its easier to do in other programs, but ultimately all work ends up back in flexi, and sometimes imports/exports can be a pain - so its nice to know it can be done, should the need arise.

When I sent a file to VersaWorks using this method it printed the transparency as a low level gray !

indeed just a button would be faster. Is SAi listening? NO.

If not I would be happy to throw something together...

...you know control+D duplicates so you don't have to copy/paste.

I'm with you. I didn't think it could be done in Flexi. I'm surprised that some one did not think of this before now.

Thanks for this post.
