#XARA DESIGNER PRO PRO#

IвЂ™ve used various versions of Adobe CS, Quark, PageMaker, even CorelDraw back in the day, but nothing comes close to the ease, speed, and logic found in Xara Designer Pro X. ItвЂ™s also not to be confused with the now-obsolete Xara Xtreme, sometimes known as Xara X. According to Xara, the X in Xara Designer Pro X refers to the professional line of products, rather than the Roman numeral for ten (this is version 8, and the first Pro package in the series). And similarly, the color picker often is cantankerous. Using the Clone Tool in both Xara Designer Pro and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer MX is much like using two mirrors to cut your own hair: ItвЂ™s counterintuitive and overly fiddly, even with the version 8 improvements.

There are a few things that still need some work: Xara Designer Pro X doesnвЂ™t always play nice with Adobe Adobe Acrobat Professional-sometimes it just wouldnвЂ™t create my PDF for me on Vista-but if you use PDF-XChange Printer 2012 (part of TrackerвЂ™s PDF-XChange Pro 2012 $74 bundle) it works flawlessly.

(For a full list of features available in Xara Designer Pro X, but not Xara Photo & Graphic Designer, take a look at XaraвЂ™s features page.) Plus, you can now create bespoke graphic bullet points that will automatically insert themselves into your lists, create QR codes, resize Widget, and a whole lot of other improvements. In addition, Xara Designer Pro X (but not Xara Photo & Graphic Designer) now has a Shapebuilder Tool that you use alongside the new Eraser Tool to create, adapt, and modify complex vector shapes. There are also improvements to layout tools in Xara Designer Pro X: now you can set text styles easily and quickly, and manipulate your pages with drag-and-drop ease. Xara (a subsidiary of MAGIX) has made a few improvements to Xara Designer Pro X (and slimmed-down sister product, the $90 Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013) including the addition of a Color Picker Tool that allows you to create a mask based on a color selection. The addition of a Text Styles feature builds on Xara Designer ProвЂ™s ease of use and great integration as a combined layout, photo, and text editor.If youвЂ™re upgrading from a previous version, Xara Designer Pro X will look and feel very familiar: The UI remains intuitive: click on most tools and the Infobar will automatically show you the options for that tool when youвЂ™re setting text, Xara works exactly like a word processor and with images, you really canвЂ™t mess anything up with the non-destructive editing. In addition, Xara Designer Pro X includes all of the Web design features from Xara Web Designer MX (version 8 $50), and a slew of very useableвЂ“meaning you can dismember and re-assemble to your heartвЂ™s desireвЂ“templates. Version 8, also known as Xara Designer Pro X ($299), combines most of the tools you regularly use in Adobe CS ($1300)-powerful photo editing, smart multi-page document layout, vector based shape creating-and rolls it into one fast program. If youвЂ™ve never before used Xara Designer Pro, now is the time to try it. Someone has taken the essence of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign (aka Adobe CS) combined it with cheetah DNA (the speedy animal, not the Mac OS), and started selling it as $300 software called Xara Designer Pro. Call MI6: A new supervillain must be on the loose.
