Thank you for the replies. Xaraxone and TheBoutons are in my favorites :)

Hello,

As the title of the thread says, I was wondering if Gary is planning an update (upgrade?) to his book on Xara Xtreme to cover either the new Web Designer 7 and/or the upcoming Xara...

yikes!

That's more than I bargained for :D

That will give me something to do next winter :)

Thanks,

John.

Thanks Gary.

I'm starting to develop personal preferences :) in this case, towards the shape editor.

Hi Sledger,

Thanks for the video links. After watching them, it looks like I've been doing the tracing the hard way. The videos really show how simple it can be.

Thank you, that was very...

Hi Gary,

I spent some time re-reading chapter 3 and practicing with both the shape editor (which the more I use it, the more I believe it is an important tool to master) and the pen tool.

At...

Thanks Gary.

Matching colors between dissimilar printers (home and commercial) is a nightmare that is beyond me. I'll search the forum to find how other people have dealt with the problem.

Hi Gary,

I think you've opened a can of worms :)

Here is a problem I've experienced and, I think most everyone that has done any semi-serious printing has experienced as well.

I create a...

To say the least :) great choice.

Wow! That's beautiful.

Thanks, I will work with that image and attempt to recreate the final result (for the sake of developing the skills)

Back to reading and learning,

John.

I'm sure I can repeat the Dumb part, the Luck part has proven more difficult (as it usually is) :)



I thought about that in one of my many tries. I placed an untraced copy of the chair behind...

Hi Gary,

Me again! :) This time picking on the lawn chair.

I used the settings indicated in the book but, the result I get isn't quite close enough to what you got. I should mention that the...

Hi Gary,

Great site to know about. I'll download the "knock-offs" :) and rework the logo.

Thanks!

John.

+ 1 - that would be very useful

That's an amazing bike.

Going to wireframe quality makes perfect sense. Less work than setting a transparency and then removing it.

Another good tip. Thanks!

John.

Thanks for the encouragement Gary. :)

Just in case this trick I used is useful to you and hopefully someone else as well; to ensure the globe was nicely placed, I actually typed the entire word...

Just in case this would helpful to someone, I attached my "rendition" of Gary's suggested improvements to the Globe Partners logo.

Note that I used Arial as the font because I don't know which...

34.. right there in the figure as you said... I missed that. Thank you.

John.

Hi Gary,

It's me again! :D

Point 6 says "Use a value of about 434 for accuracy. ..."

I swear, I pulled and pulled on that slider as hard as I could but couldn't go past 100 no matter what...

Correction to something I said a couple of posts above:

The header should probably not be set as a background. If you do that it will likely be repeated to occupy the entire page which is not what...

Do you have to actually reboot your machine as a result of the error ?

I have not experienced the problem you mentioned but, uninstalling and reinstalling makes perfect sense as a first step.

I can't help you with the animation, it didn't play at all.

I believe the reason is because you didn't make the swf file available. Therefore I couldn't see the problem, all I saw was a black...

Hello Claire,

Now that I've been playing with your site more, I understand better what you were trying to do.

The problem with the green rectangles is that they were not aligned properly.

Hi Claire,

There are a number of "small" problems with your website. I'll mention a few here so you can look at them and make some corrections.

You will need to open the Object Gallery in...
