Xara Xtreme vs. Fireworks 8

[ecub]

To Soquili, Grace and Sally.. Thank you for your help in getting me started
This link below is just what I need to get me started
http://www.xaraxone.com/html/workbook.html

I have to admit after seeing some of the artistic talents from some of the artists, I am no where in their league However, to accomplish the task which allows me to get the elementary basics done is something I can work with and will try with the 11 days remaining.

Thank you again for all your help.. and yes, the quality of the tutorials even though it is FREE IS EXCELLENT!

Using something like Xtreme is a learning process. There is a lot you can do, and it takes time to pick it all up. Although you may not design like the greats who have created amazing things with Xtreme and its predecessors (but then most of us can't) you'll find that it does have something for everyone.

Eleven days is quite a short time, and remember that if you buy the product not only is it a great price but it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee. Furthermore, the retail version comes with a shortcut card, all tutorial movies (so you can watch them all without downloading) and a complete archive of the Xara Xone. You can even purchase the manual if you want it. So purchasing it will allow you to get into the program better.

A really nice feature of Xara Xtreme is the fantastic color handling together with named colors. In this post you'll find an example how to use this feature, in order to try different color variations for a web page.
