These applications have been designed from the ground up to be cutting-edge tools for drawing, compositing and basic photo editing. They have a rich heritage, as the first iteration of Xara appeared circa 1995. I have been an ardent user from the very beginning and have watched the platform become more powerful, year after year.įormerly, Xara released a single application that was primarily a drawing and compositing tool. In recent years, they have expanded Xara into a number of specialized tools including Web Designer, Web Designer Premium, Photo & Graphic Designer, Page and Layout Designer and Designer Pro. This approach allows you to select the best tool for the task and also saves you money if you are on a tight budget. If you are a graphics professional who is looking for a versatile tool to handle all of these tasks, then Designer Pro X10 is the tool for you. New features that are common to both programs include:Īdditional new features available only in Designer Pro X10: If you are are just doing drawing, compositing and photo editing and are watching your pennies, then take a look at Photo & Graphic Designer. When comparing Designer Pro X10 and Photo & Graphic Designer 10, the programs look identical at first glance. However, if you dig a bit deeper, you will discover that Pro also has all of the features of Xara Web Designer 10 Premium, a program I reviewed previously here. In addition Designer Pro includes more professional design features, more complete photo editing capabilities and 64-bit and multi-core processor support.

These programs both really shine when it comes to speed and ease of execution.

They allow you to spend your time designing rather than fumbling with a program that is dense and difficult to use. You can do in seconds what usually requires several minutes in similar applications. If you have used any of the previous versions of the program, you will feel right at home with the latest versions.
