After some lengthy and serious consideration, I have finally decided to roll back my Xara Designer Pro X to Version 8.1 on all my PCs.

I use Xara as my daily driver for everything I do; it is the...

Happy Birthday and many happy returns!

Oh ok, that would make sense. Cheers for that info! x

Thank you for the tips! Renaming the folders reduced the pop ups to just the one at the beginning, and after a couple of restarts it seems the photo editor is mysteriously back. Wintab still hides it...

It's the new computer the HP Omen all this trouble is on; the old one has a much older version which has never let me down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might go back to a CD I still have and give up on this new...

I hope this provides some clues. Thank you for your time, guys. xxx

Xara Designer Pro X 16.3.0.57723 DL x64 Oct 25 2019

with an expired update service which generates 3 hugely irritating pop ups every time the program launches :-(

I use XPE as my bitmap editor, have never used anything else, and now it's gone. With it, filters have gone too, all the filters.

What is a person to do?

I've found a workaround. By making the program window smaller before starting the editor, a bit of the editor sticks out and can be called forward. Yay! (All the usual windows shortcuts just didn't...

Thank you dear Acorn and Handdrawn for your support and suggestions. My aspect was under a lot of stress and just freaked out when something that was never thought to be a problem caused a deadline...

I've seen sth new. I opened Xara, this time deleted all the many open documents and left just one with a simple line drawing. Worked my way through all the pop ups that appeared. (note: WHY put a...

Two things. No. 1 is the endless flooding of pop ups about updating the renewal service, and No. 2 is that the whole application dies when I try to use the bitmap editor, which is something I really...

Thank you, I found it in the button pallette, made a new toolbar so its now easily available. x

Sorry if that's a stupid question but there is a handy colour eraser tool on my old Xara and I can't find it now.

Used to be one of the photo tools, you click on a colour and it would go...

I can't get Xara Designer Pro X 16.3.0.57723 DL x64 Oct 25 2019 to recognise StarFilter Pro 4. I am distraught!

I tried a "drag" with a transparent png from the Interweb and got internal progra error 1064.k.ht.tr

After that, the dialogue about do you want to paste this as html or as an image...

1. PNG transparent on the web
2. Copy image and paste into Xara = PNG with black background
3. Save image into folder, import into Xaxa = PNG transparent

On my old computer with an...

I did search first ...

In my old Xara, you could copy and paste a transparent png straight off something and it would paste in fine. Current/new Xara Pro X 16.3.0.57723 DL x64 Oct 25 2019 gives...

Thank you Wizard! :-)

Thank you Gray! x

Thank you, Boy :-)

Thank you Spamiky! :-)

I have no idea how this technically works, but I consider a transparency in Xara not really as a bitmap, (not "set") unless I make it into a bitmap. And I haven't done that with the jellyfish,...

I had a spate of making vector jellyfish. All vector, nothing bitmappy here. Xara Designer X V8.

Have a happy season all...

Yes, it seems to be working now. Apart from that devilish check on the "smart transform" or whatever that is, which has now decided to ignore my attempts (in Admin mode and out of it!) to make it...
