I am not a sophisticated user by any means, but I have been using pro 9 for years doing various, basic projects. I downloaded the trial for X19 and could not skew/distort/squish images or objects. Thinking I was missing something simple, I read this entire thread and am even more confused. Does XARA no longer support this function without jumping thru hoops that may or may not work? Please tell me it isn't so.
