Picture Editor in XDPRO6

**spondoolix** · 30 June 2010, 03:15 PM

I can't seem to find Xara Picture Editor in 6. I like to use that for doing consecutive edits on a series of photographs and hoped that XPE would have been upgraded.
Is is possible to edit a photo series in 6? It seems that you have to import each photograph individually.
No doubt I am missing something obvious. Any thoughts?

XPE is there, but all the gubbins are in the Photo Tool now. Can't say for sure about batch editing, though I would have thought it's still possible

John,

Thank you for showing me where XPE is.
Batch editing is still possible, but disappointingly, it seems that XPE has not been upgraded with the new editing features in the photo tool.

XPE was depricated several versions back.

Batch processing has not been available in any version.

Hi Bill, nice to see you ... and this is why we need you around!!

The reason XPE is still included in the installation is to provide third party plugin support. However as Bill has said, it has been superseded. The main photo tools are now available (and updated in each version) in the main application UI.

Many thanks all for your information.
I'm pleased XPE is still included,as I do have some relevant plug-ins.

I'd be interested to hear about any important use cases which XPE can handle well that the new integrated photo tool can't. The plan is really that XPE is replaced by the integrated photo tools together with the Live Effect tool.
