Is it possible to use the free image transformer in Xara Designer Pro?

acorn is very helpful, but possibly not perfect, anymore than I am...

the forum members are mostly just doing this out of their own kindness - no payment - no benefit, other than learning themselves

actually, as forums go, this is very civilised, I am sorry you feel that way

I allow myself to be terse when the an OP asks the same question more than once. I am sorry that it is evident that some people do not actually try or check prior Posts before asking. My track record speaks for itself. If I then go on and say I lambast Xara and try to help others, this isn't hubris but factual and I find it sad that I have to point it.

Why would you be "banished "?

I did say "an OP" so I was being general.

Here we also had https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...T-RECTANGULAR). From the times on this Thread, it was started at 12.24AM so I assumed it was fully answered within 2 hours with three good answers by cpman1. Then the same question was posed by the OP in this Thread as 12.01PM, 10 hours later...

The other Thread actually had an acknowledgement of help received at 12.02PM with this one started at 12.01PM, asking for the same advice already delivered.

My bad for being tetchy.

tetchy I understand; I am the forum expert at tetch...

It is of no import. I read free transform and free scaling to be the same topic.

obviously you do.... and maybe within XDA it might be justifiable to look at it that way

but in other programs that is not necessarily so

you are right to say newbies to XDA should not expect it to work like another program, but we also have to remember they will use the terminology and understanding that they have, until they learn the differences
