Hi Mike,
Thanks for that info, all very useful. I'll have a go with a few psd files I have and see what happens in Xara, if anything. I'll also have a look at the other software you mentioned.
Cheers
Andy

I just tried importing a Photoshop CS-5.5 file with 5 layers and it imported into Designer Pro X10 fine with all layers (plus transparency) intact.
I think the limitations are things that are not supported by both programs.
Text created in Photoshop came in OK but with some color discrepancies and alignment issues.

Heere what it states in xara.com: "Xara Designer Pro offers full support for importing and exporting Adobe Photoshop® PSD files including layer support (Designer layers are exported as PSD layers and PSD layers are imported as Designer layers), including alpha channel and 16-bit color and CMYK layer conversion."
I have CS2 legally and CS3 from my last employment which I haven't removed from my H/disc yet and have no problems with importing files which were designated .psd. I have had problems with some .tiff files and some LAB colour space but not all. If you have a Adobe account you can still download PS CS2, I think still, and there are serials available for you to use which are all legal which if you had room on your disc would be a good backup..
Design is thinking made visual.
xara will not import clipping layers correctly, they are imported unclipped; adjustment layers do not usually import correctly in my experience either
