I have submitted my payment. After spending the morning playing with my 3.0 version I am quite sure that I will make some use of this product.

I am still a bit concerned about the selection issue but every thing else is really wonderful. One other little detail is that when you select the text button and then select where you want the text to be placed on the work area it takes a couple of seconds to pop up. Hopefully in future releases Oscar will have it so you just type directly onto the work area or at least give you the option to do so. A really nice extra is the Character Map built into the text dialog. Once you select a character from one font and then switch to another font and select another font and so on the program is intellegent enough to keep them as you selected them and then also onto the work area. Very nice indeed.

The one thing I'm not finding too readily is the feathering tool, I know I saw it before but can't find it at the moment. Other than that all the effects are rich and easily editable (colors and all) and most of the tools are very intuitive. The redraw to larger sizes is right on the money and the new export features are much improved upon. TRUE vector export now available. Wish he would include .xar in that but you didn't hear that from me! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

All in all, while it's not as good as XaraX in some areas, in other areas it is a much more rich flavored program. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thumbs up!!
