May 17, 06 - Bitmaps and Vector Graphics
Have you wondered why some pictures show jaggies on
the edges when they are resized larger. Or why some
pictures don't show jaggies when enlarged? Those jaggies
have more to do with the type of graphics you're resizing--and
broadly speaking, there are two types of computer graphics--bitmaps
and vector graphics. If you use graphics often, understanding
these two formats and how they are created is essential.

May 9, 06 - Xara Xtreme Transparency Effects for
PowerPoint
Although it is the norm to place conventional pictures
on PowerPoint slides, a little experimentation with
transparent effects will provide great looking results.
However, it's not too easy to create such effects in
Adobe Photoshop or other image editors unless you are
well versed with the way those programs work.
Surprising, Xara Xtreme--a program that costs less
than $90 makes the whole process so easy that almost
anyone can create such effects. Learn

May 4, 06 - Freepath
...and even if you do that, you'll find that PowerPoint
doesn't work well with all sorts of multimedia file
formats. The solution is to create a flexible playlist

other content. However, no program can create a playlist
from such disparate sources. That was until Freepath entered
the fray. So
what is Freepath?
