Serif DrawPlus anyone?

Hmm, OK, after installing, just as it loads up, it crashes and quits. Maybe it's Vista related, I don't know. But I'm not spending time on getting it fixed. I'll wait for a future demo.

I never tried DrawPlus ever but I guess the PDF capabilities are the same in every version.

I use PagePlus for a single reason: I can open, edit and save PDF documents. It paid during the first day I bought it for that reason alone.
Same is true for PhotoPlus. I use pretty highend PC's and Serif products need every bit of their power, but PhotoPlus can open psd files like Photoshop does with nested layers displayed correctly. The only thing I use the software for is to open and extract stuff from psd files I get sent from designers.

My guess would be that DrawPlus has the same capabilites ...

Thank you all, people, for answering almost all the questions I was thinking of.
I feel like every designer / artist sometimes wants to try out something different, but I discover myself coming back to Xara again, everytime.
Well, have a nice sunday!
