Xara Xtreme 4Xara is a company based in Hertfordshire that specialises in graphics and web design programs and fonts. They are affiliated to the German company Magix where their products are sold under the Magix brand. Their flagship product Xara Xtreme has a long history and a reputation for being one of the fastest drawing programs on the market. It competes well with Corel Draw (in fact Corel at one time marketed Xara products) and Adobe Illustrator but at a fraction of the price. Xara Xtreme comes in two flavours: Xtreme and Xtreme Pro. For most users Xtreme is the best choice. The Pro version adds a lot of features such as colour separation and pantone aimed at the print industry. Where Xara excels is the sheer speed at which it can manipulate images (both line/vector art and photographs). All effects can be viewed in real time (something not really possible in any other drawing package I have seen). Xara Xtreme comes on disc with a full manual, a large number of quality fonts and clip art and a comprehensive collection of tutorial videos which really help to get you started. To see Xara in action or to order it follow the link below. There are a number of videos available online to show just what is possible.

Try out the award-winning graphics software from Xara. Xara offers a graphics creation solution for all skill levels, from the template-based web graphics package Xara Webstyle, to the supremely fast illustration and photo composition tool Xara Xtreme. There’s also a dead easy NavBar & Menu creator and a nifty 3D screensaver maker. What they all have in common is a user interface your granny could use, and top quality graphics output... and a great value price.
