May 2012 - Xara Designer Pro X - First Looks by Gary Priester on Xara Xone
This is the one you came here for: the first major update to your favorite drawing program in over a year, and our Moderator Emeritus, Gary Priester, gives you the inside track in this month's Xara Xone.
Be sure to thank him when you see him out and about TG for this thoughtful and informative review.

Well done to Gary for another thorough job :)
Barbara, page 4 seems to be broken in all browsers. Probably an unclosed DIV somewhere.

Great read! I keep discovering great new things about the new version like the embedding graphics in text. Lots to get to grips with! :)

Thanks Gary ... again! :)=D>
No probs with page 4 that I can see Steve [Chrome]

Well done on the quick look Gary P I am very happy with all the new tools and features :D
No video this month Gary B?

We just finished principal photography last night. This month's video is now off to the editors for one or two CGI inserts, foley editing, and overdubs.
After that, we're Dolby-encoding for select iMax theaters...I figure you can catch an afternoon matinee later this week.

[Barb smacks Gary] It's a short tutorial this month on creating seamless textures with version 8 and I'm finishing it today [/Barb smacks Gary]

Barbara - I sent you a file with five screen captures, browsers and versions.
Aside from that (probably caused by WordPress not liking the clock and twitter widgets--DPX probably would have a problem as well, I did not try it out but it is probably a layers issue), the layout looks so much better than I deserve and my compliments to OG for reprising Fred Eyestare on the home page of the Xara Xone.
Getting back on topic, any other observations, comments, questions, while the topic is current?

Thanks to Steve's sharp eyes and suggestion, I fixed a display problem on page four. If anyone still has problems with page 4 please clear your cache.
I'm always grateful for a second set of eyes and I appreciate it when folks PM me about display problems and other glitches -- keeps threads cleaner and concentrated on the content vs the display.
Again, thanks Steve and handrawn and our own Moderator Emertius for the heads up and troubleshooting suggestions and info.
Enjoy.
