The February 15, Post Valentine's Day, Xara Xone

Thanks to Marcia for the save on the Flash animation tutorial. And thanks for all the birthday greetings in the Off Topic Chat conference. I was out of town and only checking posts with a few or no responses.

Special thanks to Sally Bode for this month's splendid Guest Tutorial!

The Flash animation mini-tutorial explains how I achieved the animated rainbow fill for the Xara Xone logo.

Comments and questions and suggestions are never not welcome.

Good stuff, Gary!

Thanks Gary for more great info. FYI - when I clicked on the Guest Tutorial #67 link, it took me to #66. If I click on the picture for #67, it goes to the right place.

Oops - sorry Gary. I should have included a link to the page I was on when I attempted to view the Guest tutorial. Here is the link:

Hi Gary,

The tutorial for straightening photos was very useful and very well timed. Thanks.

I have a question. I have a number of photographs of framed pictures to straighten up for someone's website I am working on. This technique is wonderful for straightening in one direction, but do you have any clues for how to then square up in the other direction?

Thanks

Carol

Hello Carol

You could make a correction, then make a bitmap copy and then apply the correction to the copy.

And you can use a combination of fill path arrows and skewing.
