How do I stretch a photo? Driving me crazy

[handrawn]

there's a lot more to the update than just this problem and it will all be interconnected

I'm sticking with ver 12; forever like as not...

We also use this daily in our business, creating images for social media. We are having to make changes in Photoshop just to get the correct size, before putting it back into Xara.

I am actually debating whether it will actually be worth it to pay for the next years subscription..... I mean it's been about 5 and a quarter months since the last update. I know they had issues with the installer for the update to 15.... but Xara really should have come the next update out by now. I use a mix between 12 and 15 now.

Don't you just press Alt and then attempt to stretch? It works for me in X12Pro. Last updated April 2017.

I saw that as I was looking for a fix, but it doesn't work in the latest version.

which is partly what all the fuss is about

Glad I didn't go for the subscription then.

it doesn't work in the latest version.

I can verify that, stretch does not work by pressing alt which gives a strange result. Pressing alt changes the container shape but does nothing to the image, al least not on my version.

There is another thread where it is indicated that Xara will release an update that will allows the pressing pressing of ALT while dragging a side of an image to stretch it.

This is the update I am waiting for. I will remain on 12 until this particular update is released.
