Designer Pro now includes support for intelligent scaling that covers content-aware photo zoom and content-aware scale capability. When working with Photos, Xara has taken the decision to make them vector-based with full edit and non-destructive capability. You can drill down through the various levels and select your chosen option with a double mouse click.ĭesigner Pro 6 brings together different elements of Photo, Text and Drawing functionality. The content is categorised under various headings which are then presented in a hierarchical format. Some thought has been put into the way you can access the product’s Design Gallery. If you find that you are using one of these fly-out alternatives on a regular basis, then you can move it to the main tool bar. Using this feature gives you access to a wider range of options from a single source. The presence of these fly-outs is indicated by a small white triangle in the lower right corner of the ap propriate icon.
While there might not appear to be much difference from the previous version (back in its Xtreme Pro days), on an initial glance, once your mouse cursor starts to hover over items you discover that certain tools and buttons have a fly-out featuring offering additional options. With this name change, Xara has taken the opportunity to carry out a major make-over on the product.Īt the heart of this latest version of the product is a new UI (User Interface).
To avoid any confusion I should make clear that Designer Pro is not a brand new product from Xara but rather the new name for what was the company’s flagship graphics title, namely Xara Xtreme Pro 5.0.
