IN THIS MONTH'S EDITION...
  • If you are interested in the photo editing and enhancing possibilities of Photo & Graphic Designer and Designer Pro, then you'll definitely want to check out this month's tutorials. The Outsider tutorial is an introduction to the Photo Tool and a great place to start. Meanwhile in the Xara Xone Gary Bouton's Photo Composition movie looks at creating depth of field effects and enhancing based on color selection. More details below.

  • It's also a great month for offers, with a return to the launch intro offer on upgrades from older versions of Web Designer and Web Designer Premium to Premium v10 - now extended to all older versions. Plus there's no less than 50% off all template, web and widget packs. And last but not least we've extended the Designer Pro X10 Fotolia stock photo offer for another month. More info below.

  • There's plenty of other news including a bonanza of localized versions of Photo & Graphic Designer 10. And for the second month in a row we feature two artists who are new to the Outsider in Inspirational Art.

  • It's been a busy month in the Drop Cap Challenge, which features the letter L. It's not too late to add your entry here, or why not start planning for next month - we predict it will be K!
