New Xara Desktop Application Features

[Acorn]

Dear Xara...

Matt Bolton, your CEO, stated in his Open Letter, "Xara Online will work seamlessly with Xara Desktop files which allows Desktop customers to reap the benefits of these complementary features."

The Premium Xara Cloud now boasts:

• "Photo AI to create a color [sic] scheme from any image". This is extended in the Team, to be released, "Photo AI with auto brand".
• "Import & export fully editable .pdf & .ppt documents"
• "Direct access to multiple free photo libraries"

I look forward to seeing these deployed into the Desktop applications.

Seriously? Xara Online can't even handle layers. Don't even get me started!

Seriously? Xara Online can't even handle layers. Don't even get me started!

But Egg, if Xara asserts that it can handle editable PDFs and PDF support layers therefore Xara Cloud...

Where has my syllogism gone wrong?

Acorn, you use words I often have no understanding of and often have to Google. Syllogism is an example, but loved this explanation:

here's a quote from the xara designer pro features page:

Xara Designer Pro has full support for importing and exporting Adobe Photoshop® PSD files including layer support.

maybe someone from xara can explain why, if there is full support... including layer support... clip layers and effect layers are not supported... in what way do these not come under the heading of full ?

not supporting effect layers I can understand from a technical point of view, but not clip - even a program developed by just one person, paintool sai, can manage clip layer support, how come xara cannot?

either way, the use of full in your marketing is at best mis-leading and at worst disingenuous untruth
