Hi Stephane, do a search of the forums using "Graphic Designer difference Xara Xtreme".

It turns up about 6 threads that may answer your question.

Hi Stephane,

we have tried to get some informations from Magix/Xara Ltd. in this thread, but it seems that the marketing team decided to ignore the questions from talkgraphics.com members.

Remi

Thank you very much : I go and read all that.

Ok.

Thanks to you I've read these 2 topics :

I've read the pages of Xara and Magix too, and I came at the same feeling than another member, that says :

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that Xara intend in future that the non-pro versions of Xara be under the Magix brand, and the pro versions have the Xara brand. The non-pro Magix versions will offer upgrades to the pro versions. I think version 3.2 of Xara is the last time there will be a pro and non-pro version available under the Xara name (I might be wrong though). Come the next version, which I presume will be version 4 or so, the non-pro may probably be via Magix, and pro via Xara name.


I feel the same.

It seems to be the Xtreme 4 version on Magix Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer v2. But not the Pro version as they never speak, on Magix pages, about :

- separating colors
- Pantone
- The Panorama Studio
- XPS export
- Importing HD Photos

-> So It must be the Xara Xtreme 4 there


Magix should be more clear about this information...



Anyway, Xara remain the best of the best

BTW, have any other non-French speaking Xarans around here gotten the French ad for 3D Maker and Photo & Graphics Designer?

Yes. Twice. Registered copies for both office and home and both got the notice. That's what brought me to the forum today!

I believe that Magix have a translated professional version of Xara xtreme with their own brand.
I suppose that only French, Spanish and German versions are available.

Just follow the link for French Version:

Nice to have you here, Stephane.

I do remember that Xara was going to market a simpler version of Xtreme for the mass market (and not design professionals and high end users) under the Magix brand.

I also got the French email, and I do not know French. I was able to figure out the general meaning of it because I speak English and Spanish, but I was puzzled as to why I got it, as I live in the USA, and it looked to me like it was available in Europe.
