Yeah, I've filed the ticket. I guess I'm impatient. To be honest, I wasn't aware there was a limit to activating the software. I guess I'm kinda aggravated by it.
Y'know ... that's really good advice. I think I even have one of those utilities lying around here.
I often re-install my operating system to test this or that, and Xara has always been one of my core application that gets installed each time. Well, I went to reinstall it, and I got a notice that I...
I started over the created the tutorial with voice narration (my apologies for anyone who hears my voice). I'm using Camtasia and I think it supports text on-screen. So I'll look into that. Thanks...
Thank you all for the great feedback!
Gary: Every graphics program is harder to use than Xara. ;)
angelize, Boy & Rik: The lack of a voice track to guide new users through the steps was...
I created a short instructional video in which I use Xara to create text that looks like the iOS banner on the Apple Web site.

Gary: After poring over your tutorials over the years, I knew how to make a convincing light beam. However, it looks like I still have trouble writing to get my point across.
Albacore: I read your...
Hi everyone,
I know that when someone tells me how to do this, I'll kick myself for not thinking of it. But for the life of me, I'm just not figuring it out.
How do I make "light beams" like...
Yep, RoundDoggy. We all have had the duh-head-smack moments. In fact, my own forehead is beginning to show a noticeable concave.
Thanks, laguna92651. I've bookmarked the site and will take a closer look at it Monday.
Wow! I never thought about that. I never intended for people to think I designed government or NFL logos. I'm looking at other media presentation solutions that allow more flexibility. SimpleViewer...

Here's a link to my XAR file: http://www.box.com/s/r9q6ah0kiepfqfe77tfo
The Xara file contains the stacked shapes. I did not perform...
Wow! Did someone just open a time capsule and utter the word Compuserve? rotflmao
I remember the 256-color days. Whichever window had focus would look halfway decent, and every other visible...
Same here. I have an older Intel Core 2 Quad with Windows 7 x64. Xara Xtreme, 6, and 7 have each performed like champs!

That works, too.
In the Export dialog box, click the Bitmap Size tab. In Area To Save, click the Page radio button.
I also remember a time when Gary interacted with me on topic back in the 90s. He was excited to hear that I was creating graphics at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I'm still...
Now why didn't I remember that?? Thanks, steve j!
To exactly control the pixel dimensions of your object, there are a couple of tactics you can take:
With the Rectangle Tool selected in the left vertical toolbar, make a new object or select an...
When I need "white" space (or more properly "blank" space) around an exported drawing, then this is what I do:
Create a rectangle to use as the background of the image. Be certain it has the...
I was able to achieve a similar effect to (what I think) you're describing. With the Ehance Photos tool selected, I turned up brightness, contrast, photo temperature, and sharpness. I turned down...
Stellation! I'll admit I didn't know about that feature, but I'll be making great use of it going forward. I appreciate you taking the time to create the example as well. Have a terrific evening!

Anyone have an innovative approach to creating the starburst effect like the effect in the image above?
I've been racking my tiny...
Hmmm. A Xara podast - especially a video podcast - would be fun.
Bingo! That's is exactly the approach I was looking for. This allows the resulting shape to remain vector. I'll look up your tracing tutorial, as well. Thanks for your help!
Thanks to everyone...
