    Re: CMYK Black

    I have always made my own blacks when the image is intended for print. 50% magenta and 100% black for Rich Black. 50% cyan and 100% black for cool black. It is always wise to preflight documents for...

    Claas Combine Final..ish

    My first attempt at colour cell work instead of my usual line drawings. It took me a lot longer than I'd anticipated. The perspective was extremely difficult to get right, but I'm reasonably happy...

    Re: Simulate print colours by default

    I would also like to know this plus having the rulers on by default... The usual way is to set before you open a document, but that doesn't seem possible in Xara.

    Re: Jagged edges Xtreme5 & 3d6

    Is it just the screen display with in-design or are the print outs jagged. You can change the way that in-design displays imported graphics.
    It was just a thought....

    I would create a glass egg timer, containing money... It should be quite simple to draw, depending upon how complex you'd like it to be. The money would probably be best as small coins, just simple...
