IN THIS MONTH'S EDITION...
  • All the V10 versions have now been released. The spotlight this month is on Designer Pro X10 which of course includes all the features and content of the others.

    The emphasis this year is on web and photo features including a responsive web design feature and eye catching Supersites, plus new photo enhance controls, but you'll find full details as usual on our website and in our Release Notes, plus don't miss Gary Priester's First Look articles on the Xara Xone. You'll find links to all these and more below.

    We have short introductory offers on upgrades to Designer Pro X10 and Photo & Graphic Designer 10 for owners of v9 (and in the case of Designer Pro for owners of Photo & Graphic Designer, Web Designer Premium and Page & Layout Designer wanting to upgrade to Pro). See below for details.

  • Don’t miss our other news, including a free patch update to Photo & Graphic Designer 10, new localised versions, new Free Stuff and tutorials in the Xara Xone and more.

Our pick of Top Talk this month:
  • Testing out v10 does not constitute an excuse for failing to take part in the July Scribble Challenge! Amazing as usual to see how much can be made out of so little.

  • The PhotoLooks plug-in from Red Giant is bundled with all copies of Photo & Graphic Designer 10 and Designer Pro X10. If you have questions about the plug-in or you would like to share your custom presets (PhotoLooks comes with 100 ready made presets but you can create your own too) then head over to the plug-in forum.

  • If you have any other questions about the new v10 head over to the graphics chat forum or the web design chat forum. You'll find the owners who use Pro for vector illustration aren't happy with v10 but TalkGraphics remains the place to go for brilliant advice, encouragement and support.

  HINTS & TIPS
Manage Your Memory

Photos from modern digital cameras are typically enormous, which means you can usually significantly reduce the size of your XAR or WEB file, and the memory required to edit it, by optimizing large photos in your document. Use Utilities > Optimize photo (or right click on your photo to see the same option) for a single photo, or Utilities > Optimize all images to optimize all the photos in your document.
  PRESS REVIEWS
