Yeah ... not comfortable with affiliate selling - Xara being the exception of course as it is such a stand-out program - don't want to make money out of passing on gems of information [damn this hippy heritage! ] From what I can see it's not really worth me paying out for as many effects are achievable in Xara and free / less expensive / more frequently cited tools and ps plug-ins working with Xara, like Akvis and Cybia.
