Check the &lt;a class="class" href="http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/purchase.aspx" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/purchase.aspx"&gt;How to Buy&lt;/a&gt; section of the Expression Design main site.&lt;/font&gt;          &lt;p mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;font color="#add8e6"&gt;Q: I have an MSDN Premium subscription but I only see Expression Web and Expression Blend available for download. How can I get Expression Design and Expression Media?             &lt;br /&gt;              &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#90ee90"&gt;A: Expression Design and Expression Media do not ship as individual products. They are only available with Expression Studio. In order to be able to download Expression Studio you must have the MSDN Team Suite subscription. For an explanation as to why, please see &lt;a class="class" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2007/04/03/listening-to-your-feedback-expression-and-msdn.aspx" mce_href="http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2007/04/03/listening-to-your-feedback-expression-and-msdn.aspx"&gt;this blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;              &lt;p mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;font color="#add8e6"&gt;Q: Can I import PhotoDraw files into Expression Designer?                 &lt;br /&gt;                  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#90ee90"&gt;A: At this time, no.                   &lt;br /&gt;                    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#add8e6"&gt;Q: My 30-day trial has expired. How can I extend it?                     &lt;br /&gt;                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#90ee90"&gt;A: The 30-day trial itself cannot be extended.                       &lt;br /&gt;                        &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#add8e6"&gt;Q: After a registration point is set, clicking off the object and then back onto it reverts the registration point to the center, regardless of where I put it. Is this a bug?                         &lt;br /&gt;                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#90ee90"&gt;A: This is considered to be working as expected in the current version.&lt;/font&gt;                          &lt;p mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;font color="#add8e6"&gt;Q: Raster graphics (bitmap graphics) support? Where is it?                             &lt;br /&gt;                              &lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#90ee90"&gt;A: Remember, Expression Design is considered a vector-based drawing program. While there are some features that can be used with raster graphics in Expression Design, such as image masking, Design should not be considered a full-featured Vector and Raster manipulation software.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                       &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;           &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;/p&gt;     &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5608995" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/xdesignsupport/archive/tags/FAQ/default.aspx">FAQ</category></item></channel></rss>
