When using the Artistic media presets, it would be great if there was a macro available to [selectively, by group or globally] seperate the artistic media group and delete the control line. This would be especially useful if transparancies etc were to be applied.
Anyways, its just an idea :)
Frootloop, I have exactly what you need! I have scripted a few macros especially for that cause I know the frustrating work of break the strokes into shape and control line. And there are two macros for applying transparency(one for "add", and one for "subtract" mode). So I see there is another artist who have needs for that. I am going to put a zip file with the script and icons in the downloads/macros section. Watch out and gimme response...
You can find the Macros in one single GMS-file here: http://community.coreldraw.com/files/folders/macros/entry28114.aspx
Give me a note how useful you'll find it!
Thanks a lot, Mo. This macro will be useful, I want this function for years!
Thank you Ariel. This macro IS very useful, especially if you have some tiny buttons on your workspace for easy access. Happy painting and let me see the results!
Mo, thats fantastic, thanks so much for uploading it!
Im sure its somthing im doing, its seperating but leaving the control line behind. Its in X4 evaluation version (my full copy should be here next week) running on vista.
Thanks again!

you need to make artitistic strokes first, then select them all.
try running the brush stroke.ArtistBrushConvert command to separate, it deletes control line.

Yup, thats what im doing Jeff lol - Creating an artistic brush, selecting it, then running the brush stroke.ArtistBrushConvert script. It seperates the control line and shape, but leaves the control line behind. I blame Vista! haha
heh, seems to work in X3 - I didn't try in X4 yet.

Perhaps X4 doesnt like it. I dont have X3, and my v12 is out of action at the mo.
