You can use any image. Take an image, make a circle, or any object, select, ctrl 3, then try skewing it. Actually doing it you can see, it moves the image around as if it were arbitrary. Try to also skew the image up and down, but also left and right. The image flops around and is not preserved by the original shape as in ALL previous versions of xara. Which worked.

Here is a picture but try it on your own to see how its totally not working. I just used a horse on the water image i found on google images.Click image for larger version.
