to barry 1102. I read the question again. Then I read my reply again. It seems that the reply was to a different question altogether. Did you edit the question or am I simply going nuts? Anyway, I'll...

Blueflare, I only suggested PS because, these days it seems that the majority of people prefer to do things for the web as opposed to print, in which case 'vector' is almost meaningless. Learning...

I also haven't upgraded from the cs creative suite. Can't find a reason why I should. And I also still use PS7 for most things, as I have, over the years added plugins, shapes and styles, many of...

I'm late to this thread, But I still have an opinion, here it is;

$30.00 for a logo is insulting (but that's me). to some one else, it may be one hell of a good deal. That being the case, let the...

I find that the two together is essential. Each has their own set of features which make them both 'stand alone' apps, of course. But PS effects, used in Illustrator and Illustrator effects imported...

Thanks for the quick response.I don't use the viewer for anything but verifying which is which for the trash can, (usually) so I really don't like the waiting

another minor issue. prior to installing Xara Extreme, Windows Picture and Fax viewer was my default picture viewer. Now Xara Picture viewer is, it just took over. It takes a pretty long time to load...

I saved the layer as a .png with alpha. and of course, it worked just fine. I really like the smooth, curved, tapered lines I can build in Xara that can be used for so many things in PS (it was...

Thanks to all who replyied to the question. I'll be trying a bit of everything
suggested. I especially like the idea of importing layers.

I'm new to Xara (any version) as an illustrator who works almost exclusively in Photoshop, I tend to prefer working on a transparent backgroung and saving elements as .png w/transp. This cuts down on...

you must use cmyk color space. that's the only way a press can print. If you supply rgb images you're making the pre-press techs convert to cmyk at the pre-flight stage (extra charges will occur) If...
