Special Effects (Utilities Menu)
Live Effects allow you to use plug-ins to create amazing effects in your artwork.
More information on Live Effects.
For various other bitmap special effects, within Xara LX itself, you can use the bitmap effect and plug-ins.
You can open this menu from:
the Utilities menu - this
lets you apply an effect to the bitmap selected in the document
right-clicking on a bitmap
- this lets you apply an effect to the bitmap you clicked on
the Bitmap Gallery - this
lets you apply an effect to the bitmap selected in the Bitmap Gallery.
Note: A number of functions that used to be in Xara LX itself, such as Brightness and Contrast, Flip and Rotate and Resize are now part of the new Xara Picture Editor—which offers fast, easy tools just by double clicking any bitmap.
