"Xara Photo & Graphic Designer deserves TopTenREVIEWS Gold
Award in every aspect. This drawing software has superior features
that are comparable to features included in the software used by

and export most file formats. Overall, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer
has all the benefits of a professional illustrator, but you don’t have to
be a professional to enjoy this excellent software."

NEW! Magic Erase
(Intelligent photo retouching)
HIGHLIGHT! Realistic photo retouching has never been easier!
Simply highlight the object you want to remove, click ‘magic erase’ and
the unwanted object is automatically replaced with pixels sampled from
the photo, with incredibly seamless results.
You will hardly be able to produce faster or more precise results with
standard cloning methods in other image editing programs, or only with
much time and effort.*
You will be amazed! This new and powerful auto clone tool is perfectly
suited for many creative purposes.

Practical:
●
The areas you want to retouch usually only have to be roughly
selected
●
To achieve realistic results, even large areas are filled with a
multitude of smaller pixel clusters
●
The new background is inserted into the environment seamlessly
with flowing transitions
●
If desired, repeated use provides alternative results
*Note: The results depend on the composition of the image element (matching
pixels can only be found if they are available).

NEW! Export animations as video files
Create animations with ease and embed them in websites as Flash®
videos (.swf) or animated GIF graphics (.gif) – for example as
interactive banner ads, special headings or happy faces.
Including graphics, photos, text, flowing transitions between individual
image elements (automatic "morphing") and interactive buttons and
links.
NEW! Export animations and standard photo, text and artwork as
video files (.avi) – even including transparent background (alpha
channel). Perfect as a creative complement to video editing and
slideshow software (e.g. MAGIX Movie Edit Pro and MAGIX
PhotoStory on CD & DVD): Create detailed opening/closing credits,
professional titles, thematic chapter dividers, unique decorative
elements, etc.
NEW! RAW support for current camera models
In addition to all standard image file formats, Xara Photo & Graphic
Designer supports the import of over 130 new raw formats (RAW) of
current camera models (over 400 in total). Including, for example,

calendars, invitations, brochures, greetings cards, vouchers, flyers,
certificates, business cards, CD covers & labels, letterhead, picture
frames, poetry albums, wedding scrapbooks, and much more.
Or you can illustrate documents and design your own logos using
more than 2,500 vector graphic objects (clip art). You can customize
all colors and properties and, if desired, use only individual elements
for further editing.

NEW! Magic Snap (Quick arrange)
Aligning elements (photos, graphics, text) is now even easier and
faster – with 100% precision.
Dynamic "Snap lines" display the corners of existing objects and the
center of the page (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) when placing your
content. Elements can be docked to these lines (just like a magnet), so
you no longer need to align objects using manual guidelines.
Multiple objects can be aligned in relation to each other
simultaneously, for example, to create identical intervals between
them.
NEW! Even faster workflow
Benefit from many time-saving new features when creating and editing
your projects:
●
The new gallery system can be expanded and placed individually
with the mouse. This makes it easier to access galleries quickly
and to keep track of your workspace.
●
The hierarchical order of all templates allows you to find matching
designs and elements even faster.
●
The clearly laid-out page gallery displays thumbnails and makes it
easier to switch between individual pages in large projects.
●
Switch between full single page view and the current multi-page
view.
●
If you change the headers or footers in multi-page documents, the
changes are automatically applied to all pages.
●
Copy entire pages and insert them at a different place or into a
different project, including all layers and properties.
●
Thanks to the independent copy & paste function you can now
even transfer object properties such as size and position, replace
selected objects or copy them into an active layer.
●
An optimized right-click menu provides direct access to the most
frequently used functions.
●
Anchored graphics: Objects can be linked to blocks of text, so that
both can be moved together.
●
Edit grouped, repeating, and anchored objects as separate "mini
projects".
●
Tabs that are available directly next to each other enable faster
access to all loaded projects.
