Reading the order of the new features; Power Trace, etc. - leaves me thinking how good a choice Xtreme is!
I have had CD12 for a couple of years now.
Started with CD 8 back in the late 90's. CD8 was my very first Vector program.
Chased around Washington DC one hot summer (while our family lived on board a sailboat anchored in Washington Harbor) looking for a certain "Corel DRAW Studio Techniques" by David Huss & Gray Priester.
That book sparked my interest in things - vector!

Can't forget how much Corel & Gary's book taught me - then I discovered CorelXara.
Looked it over but kept "struggling" with CD8 then CD9 and then XaraX came on the scene. It (demo version XX) spoiled me! Xara is so USER-FRIENDLY!!!!
The images in XX had a clarity - a visual smoothness and well if you've used Xara you already know what it can do!
