Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 (formerly Xtreme) is quite simply the best value and fastest all in one graphics package youll find. For drawings or photo work, for print or web graphics, its the perfect choice. Xara Designer photo handling beats other graphics programs on many fronts: Its much, much faster, produces files that can be 10x or more smaller. It can handle multiple very high resolution images with ease, even on a modest PC. Being entirely object oriented means completely non destructive photo editing, and uses a fraction of the RAM required by other products. Xara Designer offers unique non destructive editing of photos that means you can edit your photo as many times as you like without the loss of quality that is normal in other photo programs. Designer is also unique in the way it handles and stores photos (with lossless vector based photo editing, combined with embedding the original JPEG) which means that files containing photos can be anywhere from 3 to 100 times smaller than with other programs.
