Xara Xtreme on Linux

Xara is pleased to announce that it intends to make its flagship graphics product, Xara X (in its latest and greatest incarnation, Xara Xtreme), Open Source. Xara is also working to bring it to the Linux and Mac platforms.

Xara Xtreme is primarily a vector graphics (drawing and illustration) program but is one of the new generation of cross-over products that handles photos and drawings with equal ease. It is also renowned for its slick, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn approach.

We believe Xara Xtreme is the most powerful (in terms of performance) and the most productive (in terms of how quickly you can create results) product available - these are objective measures and not just marketing spiel. Xara pioneered many of the graphic technologies that have become industry standard, from the first vector anti-aliasing, to the first vector transparency, including graduated transparency. The latest versions continue to innovate with dozens of industry firsts such as real-time vector feathering, embedded JPEGs, the world's most efficient file storage, and performance (improved again in the latest release). Xara Xtreme has recieved many 'Editor's Choice' and 'Best Buy' awards.

The open source product will be known as Xara Xtreme LX or just Xara LX for short.


Not ready yet...... but it's clooooossse Wink Keep an eye on this one. Very Happy

It has been ready for quite some time. Xara Xtreme recommended download is now at version 0.7 (no 1.0 release yet) but its very useable and very quick. I played with it for about an hour and I liked it very much Exclamation

Review, a little outdated though.
