Add option for a shape to have blur - ability to use a rectangle to blur a portion of the screen.
Was expecting to see it as an option in Shape properties.
Can only see it on images

This is already available although I feel access to some functions is not intuitive....
If you look in help for blur you'll find a description.

Okay - found it, Thanks.
I was not looking at the page as an image, as you say not intuitive.

Re: New feature - Shape Blur
We worked very hard on the interface but since the entire structure and way everything works here is quite new it was a little hard to make everything really intuitive. Some functions had to be grouped in specific ways that were unavoidable. However, once you have a grasp on the way Xplain pages function it starts to make sense. What I mean is, there is a learning curve here because things are unfamiliar and there are no similar applications, but the curve is actually relatively short.kevinotton wrote:I was not looking at the page as an image, as you say not intuitive.

Re: New feature - Shape Blur
It is a much better product than the version I did a little beta testing on.
You are correct that it is a new program and will take getting used too, many people like me will come from using other systems and try to carry that working practice across
I did look at the help and think an example on blurring text rather than a picture would help make it clearer.
So far so good, I have completed 2 small projects very easily and now playing with a more difficult 3rd one that will push all the boundaries.
Thanks
Kevin
