Xara is famed for its speed and simplicity when it comes to re routing programs that are used by windows. The program is fitted with a detailed library of typefaces and decorations. Xara clip is fully loaded with relevant colored books that will enable the user to locate the pictures. Xara clip is the most affordable of its kind in the market.

Corel Company acquired Xara with total and exclusive rights of its products and this was rather scary for users of Xara because the CorelDraw by then was too costly and sluggish as compared to Xara.  The CorelDraw by then had a reputation that was negative in the sense that it was considered a very slow operating system. Their acquisition of Xara was by then considered detrimental to Xara users in terms of the pace, quality and performance.

The former owners re possessed Xara from Corel after the integration appeared to flop and consequently renamed it Xara X. It seemed a measure too little too late as the competitors like Adobe Illustrator and the freehand Macromedia had taken charge of the market and were calling the shots in the industry. Xara X really had to adopt effective strategies to compete effectively.

The Xara X then translated to Xara X1 with little positive adjustments. The Xara X 1 has simple keys and menus, a neat interface and is accommodative. Its tool bar situated on the left side gives all the fundamental art and use functions. The top informational regulatory bar transforms and offers choices for all selected tools. The lower manipulating color bar can be transformed to a palette editor.

The right sided art maintaining slider provides up to date anti association, a clear boundary view and interconnecting features.

Xara X1 provides assistance and lessons development. The position bar informs the user of their status. The latest CMYK aid feature, the bitmap image editor are notable additions.

The Xara X 1 moves all the well known web and type routes and bitmap layouts with an exception of PDF. Xara X1 has one main shortcoming which is its dis association with Mac.

Another drawback is the key that regulates up and down movements of the color bar which is small. One recommendation is that the color bar be floated in a static manner.

The Xara X1 site in conjunction with the CD provides highly rated art work.

Available is a two weeks free test that does not necessary compel one to purchase.
