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 :-(

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...
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...
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...
I've always admired your photography, Derek. This one is stunning. And not just because it's (I assume) in Wonderful Birmingham...

Hi ssonic9999
If the shutter count is what you're after, there's more here http://www.canon5dtips.com/on-the-web/finding-the-number-of-shutter-actuations-for-your-canon-eos-dslr/ including links...
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...
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...

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...
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...
That was the historical title given to the city of Birmingham back in centuries when there was actually a manufacturing industry in the area. This image was taken in the city's Museum of the...
Thanks, Jon, glad you enjoyed. Will post something else soon. I have long browsed TG and drawn inspiration from others who have put their efforts forward (both photo and vector) and really ought to...
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...
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...
Thanks for the feedback, folks - I'll share a few other images here bit-by-bit. I thought you might recognise the location, Derek, since I seem to recall you are based in or have connections with...
Often browsed this corner of TG and admired other's work - especially Derek's (Masque) - but never posted before, so here goes. This bit of Birmingham's canal system is tucked away behind and...
Hi Herbie
Just tried myself and get Serious Error crash when exporting at 300dpi (Designer Pro X, Win7 64-bit, 4Gb RAM).
Jon
Maybe I was too hasty, Steve. I've just read the EULA as it appears within the Designer Pro X helpfile and it does refer there to your permission to "copy the Software from one computer to another...
Along with many of you I've just downloaded, purchased and installed our Designer Pro X treat for the summer. Instead of clicking past the EULA screen I scrolled through it for the first time in ages...
I'm with you on DTP-type features, Tony. FWIW, I asked Kate Moir in her thread about WD MX whether the new Text Styles feature would have an equivalent in the next Designer Pro version, and she said...
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...
Hi Keith
Simply delete the unwanted font files from your Fonts folder - which is typically c:\windows\fonts - or perhaps move them (which has the effect of deactivating them) to a reserve folder...
Hi Halac
In an effort to get a bit closer to your specific question on CorelDraw 8, I can confirm successful installation and use of CorelDraw 9 under Windows 7 (Home Premium, 64-bit). It was...
