I have been waiting for years when Xara introduce something precious for me to buy an upgrade. I want to do so really but need something to pay for , something small at least.

One thing that would do immediate purchase for me is an ability to export bitmaps from Xara as "smart" , preferably linked objects with masks or feathered vector masks. Maybe vector objects too.

The way I could finish my work in Photoshop still using an advantage of super cool and swiftly quick Xara bitmap crop/copy/composing options initially . With Xara names being written into smart object names and probably as Photoshop layers compositions to link to. That way we could even keep live Xara / Photoshop connection.

That way we could work around all those Xara limitations. I specifically need an option to replace bitmaps with 16/32 bit "depth" images and a few Photoshop blending modes unavailable in Xara.
