    Re: Orton effect

    That's a lovely atmospheric image, Derek. I've recently undergone an office relocation and no longer have a on-foot daily fix of Birmingham canal as part of my daily commute :-(

    Re: Wacom Intuos5

    Hi Tabvla

    For what's its worth, I still rely every working day on a Wacom Sapphire which I must have had for 9 years now. And that's not just when I'm drawing or designing in Xara, I use it all...

    Re: canal boat

    That's another great image, Derek. I love the mildly-HDR look and the way it avoids the typical over-HDR look that some people seem to like. I'm too lazy to carry around the tripod that's needed for...

    Re: brightning up from the south

    I'd second Gary's suggestion, Derek... so many of your photos have a haunting and evocative quality and I always look forward to seeing the latest. And as someone who's familiar with those canal...

    Re: Drawing Tablet question on speed

    Hi Scotty

    FWIW I have used nothing but Wacoms and they have all been faultless, even the cheapest small ones. And they get some heavy use too - I use one all the time instead of a mouse, not just...

    Re: Old Mclaren

    That is fabulous work, BP. Is it just my increasing age or were racing cars generally more beautiful in the late 60s (and early 70s)? Your McLaren makes the point well, but I'm also thinking of the...

    Re: Installation from CD not smooth

    Tim

    From postings elsewhere on TG I gather that there's no version update between the latest download version and that on the CD. So there's no need to switch to the CD version. I didn't get the...

    Installation from CD not smooth

    So the disc arrived - thanks Xara - and I uninstalled my download copy of XDP X. Started to reinstall from disc and that's when the fun started. Setup routine seemed to run and complete smoothly, but...

    Hi Lishmantr

    I don't often browse down to the Corel stuff but wondered whether you had resolved things yet. I stopped routinely upgrading my Corel software at version 9 (still works fine...) but I...

    Thanks for feedback, Derek. With regard to the colour, I wish I could remember how I got to this point with this image (and indeed many others). The advantage of playing around with software in a...

    Hi Derek
    Exact location for this one is Birmingham & Fazeley Canal, tunnel underneath Newhall Street, facing SW. That is, looking up the lock flight towards what is now University College Birmingham...

    More from the canals of Birmingham

    Another mildly post-processed shot taken in the almost-secret world of Birmingham's city centre canals. In spring or summer this tunnel is in darkness - I know because I walk through it as part of my...

  20. Re: Pro X: change in EULA re installation numbers?

    Thanks Kate. Text styles! Here's hoping that there might just be a similar feature in Designer Pro 8 (Designer Pro MX?) when that makes an appearance in due course. For me, that might just mean Xara...
