It's been a reaalllly long time since my last visit and just about as long since I've had to do much image work but I just wanted to thank Xara's TalkGraphics forum and all the moderators here for this invaluable resource.

I suddenly found myself having to create some custom image shapes with family photos for Christmas ornaments. Equally suddenly, it occurred to me that I had forgotten how to accomplish that. I could remember about half the steps (actually 2 of the 3 ) but couldn't remember the last one. Fortunately, the thread I posted 4 or 5 years ago is still here which includes the steps to get it done. (Thanks again, gwpriester! and everybody!)

Also, I want to wish everyone a very happy holiday season and all the best for the coming new year!!
