Adding more Live Effects
Many Adobe Photoshop plug-ins will work with Xara Xtreme Pro and with the Xara Picture Editor and it's easy to add new ones. Xara also intends to provide some new Xara Picture Editor plug-ins too, which will also work with Xara Xtreme Pro.
To add a new Xara Picture Editor plug-in, copy or install it under a folder of its own in the Xara Picture Editor\XPEplug-ins folder of your Xara Xtreme Pro installation, e.g. C:\Program Files\Xara\Xtreme\Xara Picture Editor\XPEplug-ins\ Then restart Xara Xtreme Pro and/or the Xara Picture Editor.
To add new Photoshop plug-ins, you can copy or install them under the Xara Picture Editor\PSplug-ins folder of your Xara Xtreme Pro installation. Alternatively, use the Setup button in the Live Effects tool to add the location of the folder on your computer that contains the plug-in files. Or add the plug-ins to a folder that's already listed in the Setup dialog. You can access the same list of plug-in folder locations from the Effects & Plug-ins tab of the Options dialog (Utilities > Options), or via the PS Plug-ins tool of the Xara Picture Editor.
Check the Xara web site regularly for recommended plug-ins that work well with Xara Xtreme Pro:
