Covered in this month's Workbook: The July Xara X tutorial creates a gold and chrome symbol. Su Lawrence continues her sparkly stuff tutorial with Sparkly Stuff Part II in this month's Guest Tutorial. The July Featured Artist Gallery is another 4 artist Group Show. Included in Group Show are: John Chiarello, Dennis J. Newman, Mary O'Neill, and Danny Gregoris. Fun and diverse images as always. If you would like to be considered for one of the group shows, e-mail me and let me know where I can see a few of your images. Dmitry Malutin has a new release of his terrific font utility Font Seeker, free in the Shareware Page. There are new tips in the TIPS section. I am always looking for contributions (Tips, Brushes, Templates, stuff like that) to share with the Xara Community. I'm also starting to run out of ideas and could use your input. If your site has Xara graphics and is not listed, send me your link and a brief description of how you have used Xara on your site.
It also includes new graphic template designs, better integration to the leading web-authoring programs and UI and workflow enhancements which make creating graphics even quicker and easier than ever.

All you have to do is change the graphic properties - colors, fonts, text, size, background etc. - to create the look you want. The possibilities are virtually limitless, but because the templates are professionally-designed, they will always look great. It also includes perhaps the easiest-to-use and fastest photo-enhancement tool on the market.
