JUST RELEASED! Xara Designer Pro X365

[digitalphaser]

Digitalphaser - Many of us were hoping for more features in the typography area. Dodge and Burn the two new transparency blend modes join the modes added in the previous version, Overlay, Hard Light and Soft Light, plus Color and an updated Luminosity. Normal, Multiply and Screen round out the list. My favorite Brightness was dropped which means I will keep DPX 11 on my computer for when I need it to add shape to an object.

Yeah, I know. I just expressed my surprise. Tansparency types are not some secret or know-how for programmers.
Xara adds each last years only two new transparency modes. I suspect that small additions will be sold as serious innovations.

Today, even web designers have the ability via simple programming languages(CSS,JS,SWG/XML) to use up to 15 transparency types. Why Xara not?
What prevents to equip a program with simple standard tools? I do not ask for the impossible. These are quite basic things.

Just tried to buy the upgrade at £75 including VAT as offered. When I get to the check out it converts it to dollars and it magically becomes $118.18 (approx. £91). I know that the pound is falling, but that much? I would have throught that if the offer price is £75 then that's what I should be paying.
