All said, I do love me the Xara. But being an illustrator, a trained technical illustrator to be more specific, I am always on the lookout for a vector illustration program that focus on improving...

This doesn't look like an internal drop shadow, rather a drop shadow to the negative space. In other words, the darker blue shape.

Oops, sorry Frances.:o

Breathing iiiiin, and ooooout!
That's better.

So, I had a chance to go out a create some illustrations in Xara. After using Illustrator CS6 and DRAW X6, I have seen that Xara has really kind of fallen behind in terms of features. At least, they...

The Price has already gone way up, and that is only to add the so called "pro" features. And still it's not up to par with other programs. I don't mind the cost if a program that makes me money. Xara...

Thanks Gary. I will do that.

Rik, it is whatever you want it to be. -)

It has been a VERY long time since I have posted anything out here. I just had to say hey after QUICKLY creating this record for a friend of mine.

I spend most of my time in AI and DRAW land,...

I didn't think you'd take me so literally. :-)

Yup, used them all.

What is really funny to me is that we all talk like digital painting is like actual painting. lol

Geeze, and I thought I was done here. ;)

Photoshop is the original digital "painting" tool. Have you tried Artrage? I LOVE that program. They have it for the iPad too. Oh geeze, that brings in a...

Right, I had made that observation as well. It is interesting what programs companies' decide to give attention to.

As mentioned above, since Adobe pretty much has the market on Macs, why not go...

So if they have the resources/funding for a Linux version, why not mac?

And please don't compare this to Corel's attempt. They can't seem to get anything right over there. :p

Sadly no export option. I have saved my test files to a dropbox folder. When I get home tonight I will try opening them with CS6 and see what happens. Maybe I will find that my system was having a...

Thanks Albacore,

Since I rarely use Xara or Graphic Designer for my more serious work it's no big deal. I can figure this out. I can just throw this in the same category as issue we all have...

This looks to be a somewhat older thread but I'd like to put in my 2 cents. I submit to about 15 agencies so I do have some experience in this area.

Depending on the stock site you will probably...

I can never get the images to display the first time.....

Hey, no worries. :-)

Thanks Gray. :-)

I like that. VERY cool.

Thank all. I tried to do an attachment but it wasn't apparently obvious how to do that.

Got it now.

This kind of image deviates away from my norm, but it sure was fun.

I got the idea...

@lutz
Funny, after my last post Corel crashed on me three times. Back to ai to finish my work. :-)

Hi rocket,
No argument, Corel could (is) the biggest competitor to Illustrator but the fact is that Win machines have most of the market share. I don't think it would be tough to create a product...

There are MANY threads out on the Internet discussing this topic. It all has to do money. :-)

One interesting thing to mention, I am using VMWare Fusion to run Window on my imac. I can now run all...
