Xara Extreme Pro 4 is now out – and this photo tool comes to market with a reputation for handling huge 20-100MB image files (TIFF, PSD, JPEGs) with unbelievable quickness and speed. At the same time most of its tools are live effects – that is users drag and drop the tool with different settings to see immediate transparency or fill or scaling changes.
In short, Xara Xtreme has a well deserved reputation for being the photo composition tool of choice whenever users are working with large vector or bitmap image files. Now Xara has added some additional font, styling, and Web development capabilities – so I shall try to get a review out to customers as soon as I have the goods.
