Best Uses For Xara Designer:
Product Description
Xara Designer is famous for its speed and unrivalled ease of use, making it not just a highly productive tool, but a pleasure to be creative.
Xara Designer has the world's most sophisticated, highest performance vector rendering engine. Quite simply this makes it the fastest graphics software to be found.
Xara Designer's Direct Action Tools allow you to create effects such as transparency, shadows, bevels or gradient fills in an interactive, fast and intuitive way. No distracting dialogs - simply drag on the object!
Many tasks in Xara Designer benefit from being able to use the drag and drop principle, which is the most intuitive way of working and a great time saver. It also supports drag and drop import of files, such as photos.
Instead of dragging outlines when you draw, move, rotate or resize objects, Designer offers solid live object manipulation. Only Designer is fast enough to do this on complex vector graphics.
Being able to change what you have done is vital in a graphics package. Xara Designer allows unlimited undo, making experimentation easy.
The Zoom tool allows magnification up to 25,000%, perfect for detailed work. And it's super-fast and resolution independent too.
If this image was created in Photoshop with the same detail, the file would be 2000 x 3000 inches, take hundreds of megabytes of memory and file space. As a vector design it takes just 180Kbytes!
Xara introduced the world's first vector anti-aliasing to bring maximum screen quality and is still a pioneer with the fastest, highest quality anti-aliasing available in any drawing program.

Xara Designer - Things We Like
Read any Xara Designer review and the one thing that stands out is speed. It is faster than pretty much all its rivals. Combine this general speed with how fast it is with its vector rendering capabilities and it makes it quite a tool.
Intuitive drag and drop interface makes it easy to use and saves a lot of time on tasks. It even allows you to drag in files such as photos seamlessly. Get the free Xara Designer download to see how easy.
Live manipulation of solid objects is a great feature. It allows the full speed processing as you draw and render, not just outlines. Visualisation as you work is enhanced improving creativity.
Unlimited undo function means that even the beginner has no fear over what he has done. Everything can be reeled back step by step to correct the tiniest error.
Xara Designer - Things We Didn't Like
It is not really the best package for absolute beginners. There is no really helpful walkthroughs or examples to follow. But for advanced users or professional it is still excellent.
The software does not offer a very wide or comprehensive set of animation commands. But they can still function well for simple framing options.
There is no concept of object styles implemented in the current version. This makes extracting object properties to the separate CSS pointless. But then again this is not really designed for advanced coders.
