Hello Sylvia,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.


Xara Xtreme is primarily a vector graphics application. The features you have requested are specific to a raster (bitmaped, photographic editor) graphics application.

Unlike Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or other raster editor there is no matrix if pixels that can be erased or smudged so those tools are not native to a vector editor.

Xara Xtreme has incorporated some raster effects and may eventually include some tools for editing raster images. Only Xara Group Ltd. can know what their future plans may be for the program. Although the parent company MAGIX does already offer programs for editing raster images.
