XaraX of course! Get hold of the evaluation copy, and make sure you look at the video tutorials and those at www.xaraxone.com.
www.thelondonhouse.co.uk
I just got the tril version downloaded.
I will let you know what I think.
Bitmap manipulation is limited the original will have to do a lot better then that for me.

Hi - Before you give up on Xara X be sure to visit the Xara X Forum and the Xara X Gallery Forum both here at tallkgraphics.com
As Simon has noted, it is also worth your while to visit the xaraxone.com - It is the ultimate resource. I was invited to have a featured artist gallery there - I hope you visit and see the kind of stuff I do with Xara X. At the same time you'll see all the different styles Xara users get out of themselves with the help of the program.
Perhaps contrary to your first impression, the program actually is quite amazing in working with bitmaps.

Dada,
I own Photoshop/Illustrator, Corel Draw/Photopaint, Corel Painter, Paint Shop Pro, etc., etc. (I'm a junkie).
If I had to survive with only one program I'd choose Xara X without question. It is the finest piece of software I've ever encountered.
If I could have two pieces of software I would select Xara X and either Photoshop or Painter. Photoshop is much more the industry standard and easier to use. Painter, on the other hand, has some absolutely wonderful, unique features not duplicated in any other package.
Good luck.
Brian.
