xara claim multicore support
they also claim .PSD support - but you try importing a PSD file with clipping layers and see where it gets you
clipping layers are almost universal in the work I do, and I am not alone in this; so when xara claim in their feature list [my emphasis]:
Xara Designer Pro has
full support for importing and exporting Adobe Photoshop® PSD files including layer support.
I know it was written by a marketing bull****er who wants to make what is only a halfway house look good [which I know is what marketeers are paid to do ]
xara multicore support is probably only a halfway house - they are very good at halfway houses; in fact you could say quite a few of their features fall short of what you would expect in a' pro' program but at the end of the day it is down to cash I would imagine
for example in animation :
harmony premium costs 1500 GBP to buy permanent license; 975 GBP to upgrade that, alternatively 230 GBP per annum to get support and continual access to the latest version[s] but you revert back if you stop this [but you do still get the fixes for the version you originally bought] - there is also a rolling monthly/annual plan same as adobe
at this sort of pricing you an expect service - xara is an inexpensive program; yes such things are relative, but it is.. you only get so much for your money....
