Thanks Sami, those links were very helpful.

There is an interesting video in XaraXhris showing how to enlarge breast size in a photo with XE!

And I saw it, downloaded it and have tried it!    I use firefox's add-on extension: Download Helper
Mine are quite full and need no enhancement (IRL or photo), but I took a photo off the web to try it.
The video actually is excellent for demonstrating some of the LIVE EFFECTS that are in Xara Xtreme that I often forget about since I still use Paint Shop Pro for those things.

I spent about 3 hours last night looking at those vids and trying techniques in XXP5.  OMG... The shortcuts I learned last night will save me gobs of time!!!

- One click copies
- reflections (quickly AND axis of symetry for truly symetrical objects)
- adding eyelashes
- healing images instead of clone tool
- live masks (I did not know how to keep the fill from expanding with the object till I watched the vid!)
 
XaraXHris has a GREAT Levels/Histogram explanation vid.

I learned about histogram with Paint Shop Pro but have never seen such a good demo, explanation of the usefulness of this tool in ANY photo program. Worth watching even if you understand the tool. Especially the quick color change at the end, removing the blue tint on a photo, restoring to proper colors (I had a bad camera that put an unnatural blue cast on all photos and had to correct each image so this example really hit home for me)
