Thanks amoore.

My question really is which EARLIER version than 5 would provide what i need as described above ? As said, version 5 with all its bitmap functions and web design tools is too...

Thanks both of you for your answers.

Unfortunately they don't really totally solve my problem/questions, i guess i was a bit unclear, sorry for that.Let me try again:

I already know that the...

Hi,

it's been a while (years) since i have used Xara, so what i'd like to find out is which version is most focused on vectors.What i mean by this is, most of my work is vector based (logos,...

Hi Bill,

thanks for the fast reply.

I'm still somewhat confused as it sounds like you're saying subtracting, intersecting and slicing of shapes can only be done in 4.0 but not in the previous...

Hi,

i have been away from graphic design (and Xara ) for a while but now turning back, so i am a little confused which version of Xara would be the best to use.99% of my work is logo design which...

Thanks Gary;

my question is not at all about what to do when Illustrator pops up a window; what i'm (was) interested in is if it's possible to create artwork in Xtreme that's 100% CMYK and export...

Am i missing something here ?

I thought the ->Convert To Editable Shapes would turn the shadow into a bitmap, not vector path.

I know when you click on it after conversion it says "shape" but...

Defintely not the way it is now.

The current Xtreme version is not half as usable for pro users like the X1 version was, so even if the non-pro users market increases, at the same time by having...

Seems i am not the only one who whishes there was a Xtreme Pro version (an improved XaraX1 if you will) so i thought it would be a good idea to start a wishlist thread in case Xara Ltd finally...

I think there are 3 solutions:

- Either have Xtreme as it is but (re-) add all the cmyk/Pantone stuff from the X1 version plus a few other print related options (HKS color palettes would be great...

Thanks Gary but i already knew that :)

My question was - is Xtreme able to export to .ai fully in CMYK so that mentioned popup will *NOT* popup ?

Like, yes or no ? :D

Again, the confusion...

Thanks both of you for your answers.

I'm still confused :D

Ok, let me put it in different words:

Say i start with the cmyk template, create all my artwork in cmyk, be careful not to touch...

Thanks for the answer(s). :)

I guess my main point is just as you said, Adobe is the industry standard no matter if you or i like it that way.Because of that, to be able to work professionally...

One more for the wishlist btw:

It would be great to not only be able to have a "convert to cmyk" button (instead of having to alter the actualy values like mentioned above) but to also have the...

I'm confused again:

Quote from Charles:

"Actually there is a way of converting everything to CMYK in Xara Xtreme. Simply export...

Charles, i have to strongly disagree with you on some points here.

First of all:

Like it or not, so far it's just so not the case Xara has been established in professional work environments,...

Thanks Gary as well for the quick response.

What actually caused my confusion was the number of threads where some posts said Xtreme would not support cmyk but now it's clear people actually meant...

Thanks Charles for the answer :)

As for the "joke" thing:

Of course the option to export to tiff is not a joke by itself, what i meant is while searching through the threads i saw that...

Hi,

did a search for "cmyk" but am even more confused than before.

Soo....does Xtreme support cmyk or not ?

I don't mean spot colors (i'm aware that option was removed) nor seperation (also...

Thanks for asking this - it took me a while to find that out myself and it's annyoing as hell to have to "tweak" the color values "a little" to turn to a different color *editing* mode.

I can't...

Thanks for the reply; well to produce the problem i simply type a word in Xara, go to either the font list in the left upper corner or to the font gallery and apply the font.As said it will only show...

Quick solution:

- Select the red ribbon and Arrange > Convert Line To Shape
- Copy and paste the shape
- Draw a rectangle with no outlines and place it under the copy
- Select the copy and...

Thanks for the reply - but it's still unclear to me.

As said the matter is not if the "Simulate Print Colors" option is turned on; i'm pretty confident those should be turned on anyway when...

Hi,

i've just downloaded and installed the CMYK template which works great for working in the cmyk color space.

Now my question is; if i choose to use pms colors, should i use the cmyk template...

In case you have the X or X1 version there is a *really* easy way to import the pms palettes into Xtreme - just i'm not sure i'm allowed to say how it's done.

Here is a hint: Think about where the...
