just drag on the face to create a beautifully lit and shaded 3D version. Drag on the sides to
extend the extrude depth. It couldn’t be easier.
Xara Xtreme photo handling beats other graphics programs on many fronts: It’s much much faster,
produces files that can be 10x or more smaller. Being entirely object oriented means completely
non-destructive photo editing, and uses a fraction of the RAM required by other products. It can
handle multiple very high resolution images with ease, even on a modest PC. It makes the perfect
photo composition tool.
Xara Xtreme is used by many different types of customer in a spectacular range of uses – for
designs combining drawings, text and photos, for print and the web – so we understand how
important it is to offer compatibility with other products and users.
Xtreme offers support for a huge range of file formats, making it easy to exchange your work with
other users and programs. This includes common bitmap types (eg GIF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, PSD,

gamut preview and a lot more.
Xara Xtreme Pro supports both XPS import and export. This is an entirely new ‘page description’
file format invented by Microsoft that’s vector based, and so is ideal as a
resolution-independent portable document format.

different layers.
