Hi
i am about to start an online graphic design degree. They are encouraging us to use Adobe CS4 or above. I am teaching myself to use it step by step but am aware of the huge costs when i want to use if professionally as a freelancer. Are there any major limitations to using the Xara software e.g. for layout, photo editing etc.
Having played with a trial of Xara I fin the drawing tools far more intuitive
