Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 - Designer Pro 7

[Richard S]

I have Designer pro 7 and looking for slide creation software I was led to Magix Photo Story and then followed several links found the offer for 'Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7' http://www.magix.com/ca/xara-photo-g...signer/detail/
What experience have others had with this software please? Bearing in mind that Designer Pro 7 is allready installed.
Is there an interactive way of moving between both applciations?
I couldn't find much on this, so turned to the forum for input.
I assume if Pro 7 is installed then Designer 7 would not be needed.
I had a bit of trouble understanding the price structure and it seems the combination of 2 programs is the cheapest way to get PhotoStory. Probably the time of the year and offers on some sites don't translate to all areas?

I see these (for my use) as separate applications as while I would use any interactive connections between both applications my primary reason for looking for a slideshow creator was just that and the Designer Pro 7 just happens to be part of my collection of existing programs and both programs come from the same stock.
