Cartooning - linework with Xara

After testing a lot I finally found out how to give my cartoons the perfect linework. I didn't want to create the whole cartoons as vectorgraphics, but I drew and painted in Corel Painter, saved it as a photoshop file, opened it as such in Xara, created a new layer there and made the final linework. So here is the test:

Yes it has this nice feature that you can open a psd-fil with the layers intact (except complicated style-layers), create a new layer for the linework and save it as a psd again.
