Xara designer pro review free#
I absolutely love Free Hand Tool that helps you to draw better (see the flower image above), even without the tablet. Magic Erase Tool works quite impressive for the background but I would not recommended for faces not to lose texture. Xara’s Clone Tool is more patching than actually cloning, can’t use it the way I’m used to so retouching seem a bit difficult to me using this tool, not precise enough, but if you want just to remove some spot or two on your image it is just fine. For instance Before & After Button that allow you to see image before and after corrections without turning off and on the layers, nice (!) I also like Transparency Tool, circular one in particular… that make photo vignetting very simple. but it has also couple of new to me tools that do make life much easier. The program has all the necessary tools like white balance tool, red eye reduction, pen pressure, layers etc.

Xara Designer Pro combines all programs in one so you can edit your photos, create graphics or even 3D illustrations (like the donut below that I created within minutes) or animations as well as design website, materials for print or create photo gallery. For someone that haven’t start with any program yet Xara is great way to start. If you work for years in one photo editing program (like me) it will take you probably a while to get used to completely new way of working but it is not impossible, especially that almost everything that is available in more expensive programs can be also achieved with Xara Designer Pro. I’m also very impressed how many format extensions it can handle and how fast it works… definitely the speed is Xara’s one of the strongest points (!) Although it’s interface looks a bit old fashioned, no doubt that more modern style would be an advantage. On the start up there are always some helpful tips showing up… so you can learn something new about the program every day. But as soon I installed Xara Designer Pro 7 I was amazed how easy to figure out it is without reading any instructions, very intuitional.
I was quite sceptical on the beginning as I don’t really have time to learn completely new programs when I can use the ones I already know. Xara Designer Pro 7 from Magix (formerly known as Xara Xtreme) is very universal program for picture editing, illustrations, 3D graphics, materials for print, creating websites and photo galleries, all that for only £249.00 including VAT.
