Well being that I am not a proffesional artist and have three children , it has been hard to justify buying a copy, but I do love to draw . Xara is pretty impressive I would rather do freehand than copy a picture though, does it work with a pad and pen? okay there is my post god bless

I use Adobe Illustrator. Never have used Xara anything. I’m definitely interested, especially since I am now working for a publishing company.

Check Xara's website. They often have specials and Christmas is coming...maybe put in a request to Santa! It really is a wonderful program!

I’m 15 have jus come across Xara Xtreme and was quick to download the 15 day trial. I have a keen interest in vector art and thought that this should be the software to start practising on. 1st day of trial and i have already a piece of art, simple than my other drawins that i was doin on corel art dabbler more an airbrushing style (art dabler is rubbish in my opinion only because it lacks functions found in adobe and other illustrator programs). I want to become a graphic designer, and this seems to be the program for me. Its a shame it will all end in 14 days time.

I came across Xara Xtreme while looking for a cheaper alternative to Macomedia Freehand (Adobe Illustrator is way out of my budget). I downloaded a copy, gave it a good few hours of trying and was amazed at what it can accomplish while not slowing down my notebook to a crawl. With the pretty hefty discount available on first of August, I don’t think I will even wait to see if I got lucky :p

SÃ, es similar al Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand y a CorelDraw. Es un programa que traza del vector. Es muy rÃ¡pido y un gran programa.

No hablo mucho espaÃ±ol, asÃ que utilicÃ© el traductor en mi mac para escribir esto. Esperanzadamente, tendrÃ¡ sentido.

No he probado todavÃa este producto de Xara, sÃ³lo he experimentado con Xara 3D y me ha parecido un gran producto, este Xara Extreme Â¿es similar a Freehand y Corel Draw? Me gustarÃa saber opiniones al respecto…
Â¿Alguien habla espaÃ±ol?

I have heard so much about this program on Yahoo groups that I think I have to try it! —Especially since I don’t really have to be able to draw!! I love to try new ways to do graphics and use them in my scrapbooking.

It wasn’t pity, Dennis, although your comment certainly made me smile! And I agree with you Xara will be a joy for you to use, but I have just done the drawing for Friday’s copy and your name was drawn. Seems you are a lucky man! I will be making the formal announcement shortly.

Believe it or not I still use Microsoft PhotoDraw! I should get a copy of Xara out of sympathy, if nothing else!

I’ve finally come to my senses and I have been looking for a replacement for PhotoDraw. When I came across Xara I was blown away. I can’t wait to get a copy. I’m a programmer, but I need to make lots of graphics. I don’t even want to try to learn PhotoShop. Xara looks perfect for me.

I am actually a Mac Type too (ambidextrous I guess, I use both every day), and I was very happy to hear about them porting it to the Mac. I wrote an article about it here on D:Illustration…I thought it was fantastic news, and I will be first in line to try it out when it’s ready!

I think your wife will love Xara!

Mac type here, but Xara is being ported as we speak….
Wife has a PC and has mentioned that she would like to try out Xtreme. Am checking it out now. So far, looking very good……
