  1. Re: Sad update for users of the perpetual licence of Designer Pro X19

    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...

    Re: Previous Versions of Xara

    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.
  3. Re: Sad update for users of the perpetual licence of Designer Pro X19

    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...
  4. Re: Sad update for users of the perpetual licence of Designer Pro X19

    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.
  5. Re: Sad update for users of the perpetual licence of Designer Pro X19

    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...

    Re: UPDATE PROBLEMS

    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...

    UPDATE PROBLEMS

    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...

    Re: Problems Embedding YouTube Video

    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...

    Problems Embedding YouTube Video

    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...

    Re: Update Service period expired pop up

    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...

    Re: New Xara Desktop Application Features

    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...

    Re: Update Service period expired pop up

    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,...

    Re: Update Service period expired pop up

    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...
  14. Re: Xara Designer Pro X and Photo & Graphic Designer Updates

    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...

    Re: New Xara Desktop Application Features

    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...

    Re: Very confused about upgrade path...

    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...

    Re: Designer Pro 15 update ETA

    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.

    Re: Latest Update would not apply until I renewed

    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...

    Re: Affinity Designer now released for windows

    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....

    Re: JUST RELEASED! Xara Designer Pro X365

    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...

    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...

    A Little Love for the Printed Manual

    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...
