Hello:

I'm really new to Xara Xtreme 4 so forgive me if I'm just missing a feature. I've recently upgraded to Vista64 bit and am no longer able to use my photoshop7 which is why I finally got Xara. For the most part I find the program awesome! But I think I'm going through PS withdrawls!!

I really miss the ability to erase and smudge. I used the smudge feature a lot to blend and push color around, much the way a pastel artist would. I understand that there is an eraser on the free hand brush tool, using the Shift option but once the line is created, it can't be erased other than selecting and deleting the whole line. (am I missing something?)

Another thing I miss is the ability to crop my drawings on the fly.

Xara user suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!
Sylvia
