Xara Xtreme is quite simply the world's fastest graphics software, with truly flexible illustration tools and revolutionary photo handling. A single application for all types of creative work, whether it's vector drawings, DTP, photo composition, Website design, or Flash animation.

An enhanced version of Xtreme with the extra features that Pro designers need including PDF/X, PANTONE® and color separations, multi-core processor support for extra speed, enhanced import/export filters, enhanced Object Gallery and photo panorama tool.
 
Features
  • NEW! Advanced Object Gallery
  • NEW! Content-Aware Scaling: The Photo Tool has been enhanced with a new intelligent image scaling technology that allows images to be stretched or squashed while retaining the proportions of important parts of the picture. This can provide a near miraculous ability to stretch and change the aspect ratio of photos, without apparently distorting the content of the photo.
  • NEW! Object Gallery: The Object Gallery is a powerful and flexible tool for viewing, re-ordering, hiding and locking layers and pages in your document. Everything in your document is presented in a heirarchical, expandable list - at the top level are the pages, and inside each page are the named layers of the document. This is a new and intuitive way to manage layers, and also to organize pages (for example re-ordering them).
  • NEW! Significantly enhanced webpage and website export: Xara Xtreme 5 now includes all the web features recently introduced in Xara Web Designer, making Xtreme a first class web authoring tool in its own right. The many improvements include:
  • o Complete freeform WYSIWYG web page design - no layout rules
  • o One click preview, and one click publishing to your web server
  • o Automatic photo re-sampling and photo optimization
  • o Full support for CSS layers including transparency effects
  • o Pop-ups and mouseover effects. Automatic photo thumbnails with pop-ups
  • o Support for thousands of web page widgets (e.g. embedded movies, Google maps, RSS feeds, forms etc)
  • o Website wide or per page title, keyword, description and tracker code
  • o A large range of new web page templates, with easy theme coloring, photo replacement etc
  • o Cross browser, cross platform compatible, fully standards compatible (X)HTML
  • NEW! Spell Check as you type: Xtreme 5 includes a multi-language spell checker offering check-as-you-type, word suggestions and a user-dictionary. You can even mark different regions as being in different languages. Supported languages include English (US and UK), German (Germany, Swizterland and Austria), Italian, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian.
  • NEW! Automatic Font Embedding. You can send a document using any fonts to any other Xtreme or Web Designer user and they will see exactly what you see, fonts and all (even if they do not have the fonts installed on their computer)
  • NEW! Anchored text objects. You can tie graphic objects to be anchored to a specific spot in your text and they will move as the text flows
  • NEW! Object Masking system allows parts of a drawing or photo to be marked for operations such as delete, clip, copy. Or, in conjunction with Content-Aware photo scaling, to protect parts of a photo during a stretch.
  • NEW! Soft Groups: A new type of object grouping that allows groups to contain objects across different layers.
  • NEW! Screen capture utility.
  • Improved! Font selection menu: Now with three sections for used fonts, web safe fonts and other fonts. Plus instant, live font size preview when selecting fonts and font size
  • Improved! Link underline made more intelligent and improved link color control (global site-wide and ability to override on a per link basis)
  • Improved! Text syncing of Soft Groups so all identical text strings in a soft group get updated when one is changed (this is how multi-layer button editing is done and it's also useful in Flash templates)
  • Improved! Button and heading stretching
  • Improved! 'Windows Compatible Font rendering' mode (to adjust font metrics to emulate the incorrect Windows font rendering used by Windows browsers)
  • Improved! Better more reliable replacing, or pasting, of selected regions. Takes on style of paste point
  • Improved! Better replacement of selected text line (e.g. triple click line and type, now does not replace CR). Double-click on text takes you into the Text Tool
  • Improved! All fonts on screen are now rounded to whole pixels in web documents, to match the behaviour of web browsers
  • Improved! Selecting small text with the Selector Tool has been improved. It's now easy to put rotated text back exactly upright, from any angle, by holding Ctrl while rotating.
  • Improved! The Transparency Tool now supports multi-stage graduated transparencies (works rather like multi-stage graduated color fills).
  • Improved! Enhanced multi-page support (pages can be different sizes and have different layers, and there's easier page copying, re-ordering and deletion via the Object Gallery).
  • Improved! EPS and Adobe Illustrator import and export.
  • Improved! PDF import and export (including support for PDF 1.7, links to pages and anchors, mouseover pop-up titles, default document link color and embedded Flash).
  • Improved! Flash export: There have been many small enhancements to the Flash feature making it more flexible and even easier to use. You can add a link to the whole animation now (useful for banners.) Hi-res photos are automatically resampled down to maximum size used in the animation (at 100%), no need to manually optimize any more. In Flash animations, you can make a click re-direct to another part of the animation. Bitmap blur/sharpen supported natively as a Flash transform (i.e you can tween photo blur values.) You can now also tween saturation and color temperature. Direct page (Flash Animation) resize by dragging on bottom edge or right edge. Ability to control JPEG compression for all photos in a Flash file
  • Easier crop adjustment - the crop handles are shown always in Photo tool so you can just drag sides of any photo, at any time. No need to go into Crop mode.
  • Dragging anywhere on photo in Fill Tool now re-positions it (it used to create a new fill). Shift drag will create a new fill
  • Enhanced Liquid Color user interface
  • Panorama stitcher improved so it copes with a larger vertical shift between images to be stitched.
  • A large number of new templates including all the Web Designer web themes.
  • Shortcut key configuration
  • PANTONE® color support
  • Color Separation Support
  • PDF/X export
  • XPS Support
  • Multi-core processors
  • HD Photo import
  • Panorama Studio
