I just installed the trial of Adobe Photoshop CS6. And must admit I am pretty Amazed.

But for some reason, I am having a problem with the typing tool.
When I go to type a period at the end of text, it always moves the period to the front of the text unless I add more text after it.. I am a bit confused why this may be happening.. Maybe its a default in how CS6 works? Maybe its just my system? Maybe a corrupt install..? etc.

Anyway, does anyone know how I could possibly fix this issue??

I appreciate any help. Thank you for your time! :) ]]> Adobe Photoshop insomnia420 http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?57999-Period-in-Text-Messing-Up <![CDATA[Photo Tags?

I am wanting to attach several tags if possible directly to a handful of my images. Sort of like how Photobucket allows you to tag and name and provide descriptions for each image; this is what I would like to do. Is this possible? And what is the "names" options doing exactly? Can I change the names of "many" at the same time? Or would that just cause confusion in the server directory?

I followed the steps necessary to modify the rectangle on the page background to give it curved corners. I then created headers and footers from rectangles, matching the corners. Everything went swimmingly... Until I tried to implement push. No matter what changes I make, when text pushes the footer down (as it should), the header gets shifted 10 pixels in the positive Y. I have no idea why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this or know what I might have done wrong?

I kept the Xara default page names (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (although I did not link anything to the 6th page). My Xara website files contain index.htm, index_2.htm, index_3.htm, index_4.htm, index_5.htm, index_6.htm.

Anyone know if I've done something wrong, from a Xara standpoint?

I know this is really off topic, but it is a question about Web Designer MX. I understand that it has resizable widgets in the new Web Designer. I'm curious whether you know if the images in those widgets can be linked. If you recall the third-party widgets in WD7 Premium can only be linked in the text area - not the image. ]]> Xara web design chat petner http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?57992-Linking-photo-widgets Ribbons, shadow dividers, and other doodads for webdesign http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?57987-Ribbons-shadow-dividers-and-other-doodads-for-webdesign&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 15:41:54 GMT Hi,

I don't plan on being a professional graphic designer but since I've bought the Xara PGD7 software, I was curious if it is possible to make ribbons, shadow dividers, tags, and other fancy doodads in web design. Some examples are here - http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2011...in-web-design/ Are there sources available where I can download an example and modify in xara?

On a separate note - can you tell me again how to make a white background transparent?

I can't seem to reproduce this except for in this particular text. The old link button does bring up the link dialog properly on it but not the new popup link. Not sure why and not a show stopper but it is strange so thought I'd post.

I'm experiencing some problems with v8:
(they might have been mentioned previously)

It's no longer possible to ctrl+click the opacity mask to select the masking part.

When you ctrl-click the underlying object(s) of an opacity mask and move it, the mask appears to be limited to the initial boundary of this object. Refreshing by zooming or moving the object resolve this.

Importing with drag+drop does not honor image size in PNG like v7.

When applying color contone to bitmap fills, gradient Profiles doesn't work, the sliders always reset to zero.

However, some people are having problems with the website being too big and they have to scroll across to the view the main page in full. I have used large pictures as backgrounds to the site, but some browsers seem to render this starting from the left, and not centering the page as it seems to do on my pc. Can anyone help?

The links also use Century Gothic - I understand this isn't entirely websafe, but do you reckon I could get away with it. I don't care so much if people using a version earlier than XP or using linux can't see it, hardly anyone is on those systems these days.

I thought I mention it since it hasn't been addressed in the new version either.
1) Draw a shape, click on "Create Brush" and name it "MyBrush1".
2) Draw a line, apply brush "MyBrush1", set outline color to blue, set line width to 24pt.
3) Click on "Edit Brush". In the "Fill Properties Tab" select "Local colors replace: All brush colors", increase Saturation and Hue (the brush should cycle rainbow-ish colors). Save as new brush "MyBrush2".
4) Draw a new line, apply brush "MyBrush2", set outline color to green, set line width to 24pt.
