I have both Designer and Photo and I really hate them. Photo is even clunkier than Photoshop, which I wouldn't have thought possible. I also have issues with it when exporting images - I often get...

From your Magix account. Just sign in and all the licenses you've paid for will be shown and you can download most of the later versions.
Yeah, that's a bit of a thing, isn't it? To be fair, i used to use it quite heavily for that purpose but my band abandoned our website a few years ago (in favour of Bandcamp and Facebook) so I no...
That is the one issue we'd have but if they went out of business without changing the licensing system so we could keep using the applications, that would be a pretty low act.
The obvious difference is that if you get sick of paying your renewal to Magix, you will still be able to use the application. If you stop paying your subscription to Xara, your software will stop...
Sorry, I do not do subscriptions. I only upgraded to v17 last year, from v14, I think. And I have even less interest in any product that requires me to be on line to use it.
When I go to xara.com...
Xara pops up a window telling me there is an update, 17 to 18, but I had to download and install it FOUR TIMES before it finally installed. The first couple of times it seemed to go through the...
I know I am doing everything properly, it's just not working as it should. By using "Paste as Placeholder" I have managed to at least get the video centred in the frame and it will play but it's...
I am having trouble embedding a video into a web page, using the latest version of Designer Pro. I create a placeholder object and paste the embed code from YouTube into the Web Properties. When I...
I've promised Gary that I won't be mean to you again, so I'll keep this brief. You are comparing Xara, a structured art program (vector) with a few bitmap editing features, to image editing...
That's gold! I'm printing that out and putting it on the noticeboard at work where all my colleagues can laugh their arses off over it. Being able to edit bitmaps non-destructively is the most...
What? I use it with bitmaps ALL the time. It treats them just like any other object, or it used to, at least. I did have a few problems last night trying to flip an image to create a reflection,...
Which one? I gave Affinity Design a red hot go earlier this year but I hated it and went back to Xara after about six months of hell. I stopped updating CorelDraw at v12 and I could never go back to...
Like most internet forums, this is full of negativity but I just dropped by to thank the Xara developers for fixing a long-standing gripe I've had (and mentioned here a few times). I bought a new...
Let's be honest, here, Clip layers and Effects layers only exist because Photoshop is such a rubbish tool and that was the only way they could make that functionality work. OTOH, Xara allows you to...
This is going to put a lot of people's noses out of joint. Surely there should be a sticky topic for Pro X 15 on this forum? The first I knew of it was a pop-up when I launched Xara today, which...
Would you care to give us some insights as to why that is? I've owned Affinity Designer since it was first released and I don't like it much at all. The workflow is rubbish compared to Xara's.
As...
Yeah, I didn't even know there was a new update, only that my service had expired. I've paid up this time around but at this stage I think it is probably going to be my last. I just don't see $129...
Why didn't you just get rid of your Mac? I spend eight or nine hours a day on a MacPro at work and I can't wait to get home to my PC and be productive for a change. Every new version of OS X/macOS...
Really? I just had a look at mine and even when it was exporting a multi-page website to preview, the CPU only went up to about 40%. When it is just sitting there with a document open, CPU is zero....
What? Xara has always remembered the export settings for bitmaps, which means it is one extra button press to use the normal export dialog. I don't think I have ever used the Export JPG, even when...
I eventually worked it out, it was the application trying to establish a link to the mothership before it started. Because I have a very flakey wireless connection, it was just hanging. Once I...
It was working fine last week but when I just went to start Xara, it couldn't get past the splash screen. The only thing I can think of is that the Windows 10 updates that installed over the weekend...
It's not the same for me. I find videos really boring - I don't need step-by-step instructions, just a quick prod - and even with indexing you don't get the same overview you do from flicking through...
When I upgraded to X11, I splashed an extra $30 for a printed manual and I am really glad I did. Just flicking through it reveals so many great features I had either forgotten about or overlooked in...
