Giant soap bubble Xara X1 step-by-step tutorial

Select the gray elliptical-filled shape with the Transparency Tool. Apply a Flat, 0%, Stained Glass transparency.

NOTE: The bubble will be placed over a photograph in a few steps. In the meantime place a rectangle behind the objects so you can see the effects of the various transparencies.

NOTE: Bubbles are transparent. What makes the bubble visible is the world around the bubble which reflects on its surface. The shape to which you applied the Stained Glass transparency will be the bubble shape. Soap bubbles have a rainbow like surface. The blended Fractal Plasma shapes will provide the rainbow film effect.
