This new feature allows you to make a mask selection based on color, which you then may use Xara’s other tools to manipulate.
The most notable new feature is the Color Erase/Select tool. Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 (or version 8) incorporates a few new features, although it will still feel familiar to users of version 7.

All of this, plus page layout, non-destructive image editing, and Web publishing integrated into one $90 program makes me wonder why anyone would ever use anything other than Xara Photo & Graphic Designer for image editing and vector graphics. Both have a UI that’s easy to navigate, and tools that–for the most part–do exactly what you need them to.įor example, Xara’s quickshapes will help you draw vector polygons, ellipses, stars, and curves in any variety the text tool can be used to add text to your design or drawing (much like Adobe Illustrator) or used to flow paragraphs onto pages ( à la Adobe InDesign) the Shadow Tool will add a dropshadow to anything and the Extrude Tool creates a 3D image from your original as you drag. The new Eraser tool in Xara Photo & Graphic Designer MX 2013 makes it easy to delete unwanted pixels…but the program also works with vector graphics, so it’s sometimes just as easy to use the Combine Shapes shortcut to delete areas you don’t need.In both looks and power, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 2013 is much like its bulkier (and more expensive at $300) sister Xara Designer Pro X.
Xara’s overlap of photo editing, vector drawing, page layout, and Web features make it useful, plus Xara is light on its feet and easy to love. If you need to whip-up stunning layouts for print or online, integrate your images seamlessly, and create and edit vector graphics like a pro, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer is one program you shouldn’t miss.
