Hi I'm a newbie

Hi I'm having a look at the free trial and I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. I experimented with a free trial of FF about 4 years ago and at the time I created a cool gemstone texture filter but due to other expenses etc I didn't purchase then. I'm thinking strongly on it now though

Has anyone here ever used FF with a Xara program? I use their current flagship program, Designer Pro X and FF works as a plug in with Xara. I am still running some tests and have made a couple of new filters that I have added to the library but so far so good
