XaReg 1.0.2.5 released

Steve Ledger — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:30:42 GMT

New version of XaReg that has taken on the functionality of XRoF.

The feedback provided by everyone when XRoF (Xara Recently open Files) was released has been used to add a new Tool to XaReg.

1. You can now remove files listed in the Recent files lists. Actually remove them from the registry as well as the grid. Most requested new feature.
2. You view the recent file lists per version rather than multiple versions in one grid.
3. You can sort on any column then write the list to the registry so it will display in that order within the Xara application's ROL (Recently Opened List).
4. You can have multiple ROL windows open to view for multiple installed Xara applications.
5. You can view the embedded thumbnail image from a selected file.
6. You can double click a filename and have it open in the registered version for the filetype. Or select to open it with the version of the ROL list.

Mt Stuart Hillclimb in Townsville

Steve Ledger — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:06:24 GMT

One of Derek's early runs at Round3 of the 2009 Mt Stuart Hillclimb in Townsville.
Trying to work out which gear was best, he soon figured out trying to stay in 2nd was a bad idea, hit the limiter on every straight about 10m before the corners!

Toyota Sprinter AE86

Steve Ledger — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:03:50 GMT

More simplistic Vector art created using my favourite graphics application, Xara Xtreme.
This time I have created the Sprinter and driver plus witches hats from a reference photo and added objects from earlier work to create a new scene. The bunting was drawn easily without any reference required.

Using Xara Xtreme for Poster art

Steve Ledger — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 20:51:09 GMT

Using Xara Xtreme and a mouse or graphics tablet (like the WACOM Bamboo), you can quickly create poster art from your family photos. Placing the photo on the page in Xara Xtreme and then locking that layer, makes tracing the basic shapes in a new layer quite straight forward.
With a little practice you will be able to turn out some nice results and because they are Vector, you can scale them to any size without degrading the picture.
Great for poster sized prints!
