    Re: erratic red eye removal

    To be honest, I've stopped using the new red-eye-remover on the tool-bar of XXP5 as I don't think it is as useable as the earlier version. The earlier version is still available in V.5 by setting...
  2. Re: slight variations in design when exported to pdf

    I believe I'm right in saying that with some fonts in particular this is completely normal. Every type of software capable of creating PDFs will show a similar result. You'll notice that if you zoom...

    Re: erratic red eye removal

    Just out of a sense of completeness, in case this is of use to other readers, I solved the problems I was having. The solution was actually dead simple. I was dealing with some very low resolution...

    Re: erratic red eye removal

    Thanks Frank, I see what you mean. I was just a bit confused by this. Now I've had a chance to play around, I understand it better. It just feels out of kilter with the way I'm used to Xtreme...

    Re: erratic red eye removal

    Thank you both for taking the time to reply. I'd no idea the red-eye tool was that flexible.

    I'll just get used to editing the photos first, grouping them, then applying the border and drop...

    Clipped photo group

    I've sort of identified the problem. The red-eye removal tool changes the photo to a clipped-photo-group so applying applying a border after using it is less staightforward. Applying red eye removal...

    erratic red eye removal

    Since the upgrade to v.5 the red eye removal tool seems to have become erratic. I regularly import several photos at a time into a specific graphic, give them all an 8pix white border and drop...

    Re: Shape Editor & Pen Tools

    Unfortunately, not that I know of. I'm left handed. For me, cursors feel far more comfortable if they point up to the right rather than up to the left. I wish this could just be swapped.
  10. Re: Feature request - Flash placeholder in Xtreme document

    If I understand you correctly then you already can. This new feature was released as an experimental add-on to V4 recently. I've found it to work very well.

    Re: Wacom tablet

    I only ever use a tablet. Set your main tablet button; in Xara properties that's the Right Mouse Button, to being the 'push tool.' I've never used the context sensitive menus in Xara. I find the...

    Re: Taking 3D development to the next level

    I wouldn't like to see Xara go mad into 3D and very much doubt if they will. They seem simply to have integrated quite an old product into their suite of tools. And why not? Whilst it’s limited, it...

    I've got the Intuos3 running on a 64bit Vista Home Premium. Driver version 6.05-7. When it works it's a joy of a tablet to use . On Vista however the driver seems pretty flaky. Wacom acknowledges the...

    Inspirational clipart, not an oxymoron!

    When I think clipart, I think ghastly corporate Microsoft stickmen. The new clipart on the XXP4 CD is superb. The brochures and websites in particular. Really very well presented use of Xara’s simple...

    Re: pdf hyperlinks

    Thanks Sledger.

    Bitmaps are the only thing Xara can attach a hyperlink to within a pdf. I thought maybe it could work for grouped or named text. That's a shame, but I can see why that would be...

    With the exception of the photographs this site was made entirely in Xara.
