Has any one used Xara Xtreme graphics software?

Check out www.xara.com/us/. Very similar to CorelDraw. Their claim is fastest graphics software period. Free 30 day evaluation download.

looks pretty amazing to me as well!

Nice post, its really great for folks to share info like this, and just one more reason to be a regular signs101 reader, lol.

Unbelievable price as well.
I'm downloading and trying the demo now. My biggest "first instinct" concern, is what formats it can import and export.

I currently use Corel Draw / Photoshop / Flexi - and generally they work together reasonably well, so any new software would need to "integrate" with existing libraries of work of course.

I'd love to read some "real world" reviews from folks here who give this a try.

XARA is...most of corel after version 8.... corel partnered up with them, was gona help them ...took a lot of things from it...added it to corel...and dumped them.

I have Xara Extreme 3.2 - its very fast, doesn't have all the features of Corel but what it does it does well, and I think its from the UK so Hooray!!

I use Xara XS now and again on my system. I think its the free version they had some time ago. I mainly use Illy though. It exports nicely to Illy as well.

I used to use its autotrace for photos and such to vectorise them. and it does a dreat job. Now I mainly just use Illustrator.

WOW, I have never used anything that works as fast is this, I never used Coreldraw either. I just downloaded the 30 day trial when you want to print something do you or is there a flatten the image, if so where is that at?
