MANY THANKS!!! As always TalkGraphics posters are wonderful. I'll have to study Daniel's thorough post and make a decision, but as I've said elsewhere, I'm very happy with the version of Xara I now...

Whatever is actually going on, I may have found an easy work-around - I tried grabbing the corner handle and stretching it only in one direction and that seemed to work, at least it worked on the...

This is interesting but it isn't the way my Xara works. I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to delete the program and download again, perhaps something's corrupted.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be difficult but it seems that one of us isn't understanding the other, and believe me, I'm not trying to be difficult or disrespectful. TalkGraphics contributors keep...

Acorn, perhaps you missed part of my messages - I unclicked SM and held the Alt key and used the selector tool; and/or I unclicked SM, saved and held the Alt key using selector tool; and/or I...

Once again, I've tried unclicking either/both the Smart Transformations and Aspect Ratio unchecked and it still doesn't simply stretch. I'm sending a copy of Xara which shows first just SM and then...

I'm confused about Xara vs Magix. I've always maintained the most current version of the software, back when there was a yearly update. Then Magix came into the picture and the annual update ended...

Apparently, I'm the only one for whom this is a problem, but it's a serious and very frustrating problem for me. I've been using Xara almost every day since Corel and it seems to me that my opinion...

I'm sorry but Ive tried unclicking "Smart Transformations," I've tried changing and saving the template and nothing works. I'm constantly resizing figures and it seems like I run into this problem...

I've tried many times unchecking "Smart Transformations" and/or holding down the Alt key and neither can be depended on working reliably or at all. In my opinion, and I've been using Xara since...

I'm very confused. I'm getting a notice that my "update service" is expiring. However, when I click on the link it doesn't lead me to anyplace useful. I tried going on the web, but I'm also...

I recently made several changes to my default template. One which didn't work was an attempt to change the default type face. About 75% of the time I use Times New Roman 20pt so it would save a few...

I tried unclicking the Smart Transformation a while ago and saving as a template but it didn't work, HOWEVER, I tried it again and now it seems to have saved the change in my default template. ...

xara did this because they consider the majority of their users use photgraphs which they do not want distorted and would rather have cropped - that is my understanding anyway[/QUOTE]

I've posted...

I’ve NEVER understood this: When I want to resize an image I want to grab a handle on a side and compress the image in that direction, I’ve NEVER wanted that handle to cut off a portion of the...

That's worked in the past but now it doesn't. When I deselect "Smart Transform" and pull while holding down the ALT key, the image continues to enlarge on both dimensions with my losing the outer...

I’m trying to stretch a jpeg in one direction only BUT without changing anything in the other direction. A few years ago Xara changed how this happens. .Now if I grab a side, the whole image...

I'm sorry Acorn and handrawn, but none of your suggestions actually work. After clicking through all the various screens I always end up with a page which asks me to purchase the program which I've...

I'm confused - is Xara still a part of Magix? What is the relationship between Xara and Magix? Has Xara returned to it's home in Hemel Hempstead or is it in Berlin?

Somehow my previous thread on this topic was closed - not intentionally by me as I continue to be unable to get Xara installed on my new computer. When I open the program, I get the attached. If I...

I'm a reasonably bright person, I've been using a computer for 20+ years, I use Xara almost every day for various tasks (by profession I'm an artist/printmaker) but trying to get Xara installed in my...

Correction, it looks like the program is installed, now I'm trying to get it registered and delete the old computer. Once again, I seem to only find web pages asking me to purchase the program. New...

I'm trying to install Xara on a new computer (which replaces another that died) but all I can find is a link to purchase the program, which I've already done. Can anyone provide a link? (I've been...

Yes, that worked. I've used Xara for decades and there's still stuff to learn, often with the help of the kind folks on TalkGraphics. Thank you!
