Peter, I have attached it here. Gary, sorry I don’t have signlab just trying to help your post. I know you can do this in corel.

Seems like most design programs have that effect, Im not sure if theres a plug in for signlab? My guess is its an effect, not something that is made from scratch, but could be wrong.

Looks like a Photoshop lens flare.

the most basic way would be to just make a little white star, no outline, and bang it on the design!
a bit like this.

I can’t see this is possible without having the latest Signlab 9 which has transparency support.
The earlier SL9 has a few filters built in which can create a gradient diffuse glow around a drawn star but this then creates a bitmap with a solid background. Because of the gradient, fluid mask will leave a raw edge around the perimeter which would still fade out to white anyway.
I often do as Hugh says which still gives a good effect.
You could also draw a 4 point star and add a radial gradient to it (white centre radiating out to black but it would still have a solid edge.
For me I would create most of it in Signlab then export the image to Photoshop and add any effects. -
The white star is an idea. I was hoping to create a glow effect like how photoshop does, but unfortunately I dont have time to learn photoshop as I’m having quite a learning curve with signlab colors, printmodes & contour cutting.
Does anyone possibly have a few star effects as i was describing that could be sent in a file?
