Re: A beginner user migrating from Photoshop to Xara
Hello and Welcome to TG.
One thing you'll see about xara,
1°- TG forum you have seen how fast you can get an answer to your doubts.
2°- Look at http://www.xaraxone.com/html/workbook_index.html
That is the best place to start, I think that most of us learn everything We know from there.
Best regards and welcome

Hi jvila,
Thank you for the link. I am very well impressed by the kindness of all people here. Thanks! :)
So, one of the things I find most "strange", let's say, on Xara, is it's way of to create a new project, Can't we specify a size, for example, 640x480 pixels?
Thank you again! :)

As mentioned in my post, forget (almost) everything you know about PS. ;)
Xtreme is not a bitmap editor.
Vectors are scalable, you save the 'drawing' at the size you want, not the page.
Page sizes are only relevant for things like PDF files and Websites, drawings and general graphics are saved out at the size you want them to be rather than saving the entire page area.
Remember too that you can drag resize the page larger or smaller simply by grabbing the right and bottom edge.
It's a mindset that you have to change ;)

Hi sledger,
So, here I am, thinking I am in PS yet... ;))
I understood now.
I was "playing" a few minutes ago with the extrude tool, and it is so easy to use and fantastic! :)

Oh I think you are in for many pleasant surprises :D
Re: A beginner user migrating from Photoshop to Xara
Really! I agree totaly! :)
I just noticed one wonderful thing.
I tried to crop a section of an image, and still surprised when I just dragged a rectangle around this section and it was automatically cropped! Wow!
