I am dissapointed I'm afraid. I upgraded to v9 purely because its now native 64 bit. Other than that there was not much to blow my frock up. Even less so this time around. Everyone has different...

Good call Gary! That will get me very close I think - been using Xara for years but never done that. Many thanks.

I used to use Micrografx Picture Publisher too - great program. Shame they got killed. For years that program lead the way and was far better for effects such as drop shadows, bevels, and export for...

This is a bit of a problem really. I know I can add my own colors to the strip at the bottom of the screen, but time and time again I need to use grayscale that has to be just gray and its not! For...

I have Designer pro 6 and Video Pro C 4 and according to the manual there is some method to draw masks and effects directly onto the video elements using Xara. Has anyone got this to work?

I have Xtreme Pro 5. In fact I have bought every version of Xara since it was Xara X, and am now considering buying V6. I hummed and hawed over the initial upgrade offer as I thought it was...

This has been happening a lot lately . If I export a document as a PDF/X it does its thing and then Acrobat opens up and views it, and then it crashes and closes. This seems to just happen with Xara...

I came across the same thing last year. In the end I gave up and bought Serif Page Plus and its a very capable program for multi page documents. Yes, you can export from X as single PDFs and...

Here is my experience so far. I was previously runing X5 on an XP Pro 32 bit box. I have recently built a new workstation, i7 with 12gb ram runnng Win7 Ultimate 64 bit.

"Stretching of rounded rectangles now retains the corner radius. Which means no more stretched corners!"

Now that alone almost makes the upgrade worthwhile. That and improved PDF and ai handling....

Hello,
the document is full of photos, gradients and fills with transparency gradients so I think I need the full res. Plus the printer has asked for it. I have noticed in the past that the "high...

I have found that having the font gallery open flatlines two of my cores for a couple of minutes and then it settles down to about 80% of one logical core. Which is still a lot of CPU working on...

For several months now we have been working on a sixteen page colour prospectus for a school. It is finally ready to go to print but on selecting PDf/X as an output option I get an error saying out...

Same thing happened to me. I installed 4 and as it behaved properly I removed 3.2. Then my thumbnails had gone. I installed the newer version of 4 and now its all working again. As someone said to...

I have installed new version and so far have been very happy with it - until now. I no longer have thumbnails Windows Explorer view or the file open dialogue box. Anyone else had this?
I have...

I upgraded as soon as I saw the announcement. I didnt even try it before - just splurged out. My reasons were:
better support for multi CPU rigs ( I have been running dual Xeon for years and...

On my main production box Photoshop CS3 Extended loads and is ready to go in 5 seconds which is much quicker than CS which I used previously. On the other hand Illustrator CS3 takes 35 seconds. Xara...

I have just bought XXP 3.2. I have been using Xara for years and buy every new release. Its great value and the extra features are always worthwhile. I feel now that the only thing really lacking is...

Ah yes, mine arrived in crushed box too. I think its actually a feature. Its really good to have manuals. I love having books. Its all good having PDFs as well but you really cant beat a proper...

I am just experimenting with PS import. I have a document that has a bunch of object and text layers - however on import Xara says that the text layers are unsupported and will be rasterised. Is this...
