    Re: In Memory of Bill Taylor (Soquili) 1949-2012

    Indeed this is sad news, and more so this time of year.

    My thoughts and prayer are with his family, and I'll fondly remember his comments and help in the past.

    UPgrading computers

    Hi to all.
    It is time to upgrade from a 5 year old single processor Windows XP computer. I ask your expert thoughts on which processor make we should be considering.

    Paragraph spacing in Xara Xpro

    I'm impressed with the new page layout features BUT (there always is one isn't there?)

    In my professional writing I prefer a 1/2 line in between paragraphs. In Xara I've only been able to add no...

    Re: This 3D effect possible?

    I'm no longer at the office and have access to my stereo shots. I found this very easy in Xara, given a stereo shot to begin with. You can do this with a splitter, two matched cameras, or if still...

    Re: This 3D effect possible?

    I don't think this is all that complicated a process. What I've called a 'beam splitter" or a mirror device that gives 2 images on one slide, or a matched 2 camera stereo system would suffice. I...

    The company IS pleased. We've gotten some good replies from clients and stakeholders alike. I guess that sounds like success. :->

    Wow, the hand writing "Jim" is very close to what I'm looking for.

    Thanks very much. I'm off to dismantle that file and find out how its done. My attempts last night were not nearly so elegant.

    Add a signature to the animation

    Hi.
    I'm working on a Christmas greeting for our company and would like to have it add signed first names to the screen... sort of like an invisible hand writing on the screen with a ball point.

    Poll: Re: Is the film camera dead? Discussion and poll.

    I voted dead as well, but for economic reasons. Without a strong market for film, new products will be slow coming or stop entirely. I will mourn that (I have a nice collection of 35mm bodies and...

    This is a great idea with (my opinion) a misguided application.

    Hi.

    For reasons only known to the gremlins in the black WinXP box, Photopaint defaults to save in GIF format. Every time. All the time.
