• Rectangles with Rounded Corners in Xtreme Pro
• Correcting Bad Perspective in Xtreme Pro

In the February Xara Xone: This month's Xara Xtreme Pro tutorial recreates a magical pink sunset on a snow covered hillside. It is a fairly short tutorial and should be appropriate for all levels of experience. Some knowledge of Xara, however, is always helpful. Sally Bode provides this month's Guest Tutorial. Sally shares her technique for correcting for bad perspective in a photo using a series of Clip Views (I have added my own technique for one of this month's mini-tutorials. Zeb is back for an encore in the February Featured Artist Gallery. Zeb's work is always fun and humorous and shows how well Xara can be used to create professional cartoon images. Check it out. If you would like to be considered for a single or one of the upcoming group shows, e-mail me and let me know where I can see a few of your images.

If you are looking for the ultimate interactive color wheel, be sure to have a look at Bill Taylor's Color Wheel in the Shareware page Templates section. I am always grateful for your contributions (Tips, Brushes, Templates, stuff like that). I'm 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.

You are probably aware of Xara Xtreme but have you downloaded Xara Xtreme Pro? All the tutorials in this Workbook are done in Xtreme Pro, so if you don't have it, get it now.
