Just a few days ago I wrote Don’t Fall for Facebook Hoaxes and threw some of my friends under the bus for being gullible enough to fall for the hoaxes. It only took two days until one of them fell for another one! Below is the text of the message they sent me via...
There are some recurring questions we're asked on a regular basis and I thought I'd put answers to each of them in this blog. As I was writing this I saw a tweet from Google stating the first Web page went live 25 years ago. After all of that time, you'd think...
I've had various interactions with users in the last week where the solution involved right-clicking in their Web browser. It surprised me that they weren't aware of the numerous right-click options that I thought were commonly used. Maybe not, so I thought I'd...
A few days ago I was talking to a loyal reader who wanted to know if it was possible to use the popular Alien Skin Eye Candy plug-in filters in the 64-bit versions of Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Absolutely, thought it will take a little bit of extra work as I documented in...
We've had a few e-mails lately from customers who have purchased a downloadable tutorial. They were frustrated that several weeks had passed and they'd not yet received a package shipped to them. This makes me as frustrated as the customer since the product seemed...
I've written several times to suggest using an alternative Web browser as Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the worst choice. Using either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome gives you a better Web experience. Even if you use Internet Explorer as your main browser, you...
In the past week, I've had two separate interactions revolving around the importing of Adobe Illustrator and PDF Files into CorelDRAW. Let's start with the very negative reaction one commenter has made on a video I made entitled Why CorelDRAW Claims AI or PDF Files...
A loyal reader has used the Hire the Geek service in order to improve the quality of some irreplaceable photos. Each of the photos was taken in bright light. In all cases, the faces of the people in the photos was in deep shadow.By looking at the EXIF data of the...
I recently got an e-mail from someone who is not a native English speaker who wondered if ROMCat would work with clipart from CorelDRAW X7. Absolutely! The issue is that CorelDRAW X7 does not supply any clipart on the DVD and therefore there is no pre-built catalog...
I had a lot of fun in Las Vegas teaching users a bunch of good information about CorelDRAW. It was exhausting to me to do all that teaching and I'm sure many of the users were exhausted from learning so much. The first seminar I taught was offered free to all...
There is a local pizza joint that has a great deal on Wednesday evenings on pizza and wine. So there I sat the other night with a friend when an attractive woman starting waving at me from the bar. She and her beau had stopped in for a drink themselves after a...
Soon after last week's Graphics Unleashed Weekly Newsletter had been sent, I got an e-mail from a frustrated reader. The reader begged me to "fix" the formatting because the first couple of characters were being cut off in the list of articles. I was even provided...
Do you have too many fonts installed? While some of you may say you don't, I'm guessing that almost all of you don't keep them under control. First I'd like to share with you an e-mail I received from a loyal reader and then we'll discuss the problem of too many...
It's been a while since I've answered questions from the mailbag. Unfortunately I think two of the topics are going to sound like a broken record because they are topics I talk about quite often.Name Your SoftwareI continue to be baffled by users who are completely...
I've had a few people ask in the last week when they could expect CorelDRAW X7 Unleashed. The answer to that is very simple as I am not working on CorelDRAW X7 Unleashed as there just isn't enough demand to justify the work involved. I gave a very detailed...
It is very common that someone wants to find a tool that allows them to easily create the most amazing Web site you've ever seen. Of course they also want a tool that can be learned on the fly. Even better if the user already owns software that can do it for...
I constantly get questions via e-mail, social media and the good old-fashioned telephone. Today I'm going to address some of the recent questions as they have been covered in previous posts.CorelDRAW on the MacIt seems that after the release of each new version of...
