One of the programs that I have found *so* incredibly easy to use, and does
so many things that my others can't do is Corel Xara. In fact, I couldn't
imagine doing graphics without it. It will do the rounded rectangle
corners, and export it without any errors. So, lots of times I find myself
using Corel Xara for things that would take too long, or be too time
consuming in another program.
Just wanted to input. :o)
