Speed - Xara Xtreme is the world's highest performing drawing and illustration software—by a huge margin. Its speed enables more complex, more realistic and stand-out drawings to be created more easily, in less time.

Graphics quality - Xara Xtreme pioneered many of the graphic techniques taken for granted by users of high-end illustration software, such as vector anti-aliasing, transparency and graduated transparency effects, linked colors and a lot more. It continues to lead the way incorporating the world's most advanced rendering engine, producing the highest on-screen quality of any vector graphics program, as well as being the fastest.

User interface - Competitors have tried to imitate Xtreme's intuitive, uncluttered user interface, but Xtreme was designed from the ground up to be this way and that can’t be matched. Xtreme's direct action tools and use of 'drag and drop' whenever possible ensure the image is always the focus of attention, with few distracting menus and dialogs - it's faster, it makes experimentation easy and that all adds up to much greater productivity.

What's new :

- Xara3D 6 included:Xara3D 6 is our enormously popular 3D tool (sold separately for $45), ideal for quickly creating 3D graphics, such as titles, headings and logos. You can copy vector graphics from Xara Xtreme Pro, and paste into Xara3D to create dramatic 3D effects, and then paste the result directly back into Xara Xtreme. View a tutorial that shows some examples.

- Bitmap and Photo Handling Improvements: Xtreme now integrates with external photo editors. Double-clicking on a photo (or bitmap fill) will open the image in your favorite* photo editor, where you can edit the photo as required. Clicking save automatically updates the image back into Xtreme.

Xtreme still contains the Xara Picture Editor as the default photo editor, but is now also bundled with an alternative Magix photo editor.

- Smoother, Faster Zoom: We've enhanced the scroll wheel zoom so it's much smoother, less flickery and faster. For those that prefer to have the scroll wheel zoom always, there's a new option to make the scroll wheel always zoom in and out, rather than document scroll (useful if you're working on photos a lot or single page documents). In combination with scroll wheel press (to pan documents) this provides a really, really efficient, keyboard-less way to zoom and pan around your documents.

- Faster Document Scrolling: We've also enhanced the document scrolling using the mouse wheel to make it accelerated. So scrolling through larger documents is now a lot quicker and more efficient.

- Color Handling Enhancements: There have been significant changes to the way colors are handled, removing clutter from the UI and introducing some quicker ways of working, altogether making it simpler, cleaner and more productive.

- Copy / Paste to / from Microsoft Word: You can now copy 'rich text' from other applications such as word processors and paste into Xtreme as text, and the fonts, margins, line spacing will be preserved. This makes it dramatically easier to retain the style and appearance of your text.

When you paste 'Rich Text Format' from other applications you are given the choice of pasting the text in as 'Unformatted Text' which means it will appear in the font and style at the cursor where you paste, or Rich Text Format which means it will retain the style of the source text.

This also works the other way around. You can copy text in Xtreme and paste into other applications that support rich text editing and the style (font, size, colors, margins etc) will be retained.
