What's new in this version? Version 6.0 features: totally re-designed application appearance; new fly-out tools and buttons; hierarchical designs gallery.
Features:
* Completely object-oriented, vector-based and selective image editing technology that allows flexible manipulation of individual image elements, multiple photos simultaneously and any graphic or text element
* Photo and graphics unified in a single program: intuitive, strong, clever, fast
* Freely customizable templates for photo albums and calendars, invitations, documents, etc.
* Creative ideas for your pictures, e.g. "liquid paint", portrait optimization

New User Interface: The current version features a revised design and improved program interface. The optimized icon arrangement simplifies operation, which thereby reduces the time needed enormously. The dark interface makes colors even easier to perceive, and photo editing is also made easier.
REVIEW
I'm a big user with Photoshop, but since using Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6, I seem to like it very much. It enables more complex paintings and digital graphics to be created more easily and in less time. It is perfect for drawing, photo-editing, creating text, logo designs, illustrations, posters, multi-page brochures, and much more. You can also create animations, such as animated GIFs and Flash. Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 is great for any artist, graphic designer, or painter that requires a single general purpose photo and graphics design tool.
It is truly the world's fastest graphics software, with truly flexible illustration tools and revolutionary photo handling. A single application for all types of creative work, whether it's vector drawings, desktop publishing, photo composition, or web graphics.
If you're looking for drawing software then Photo & Graphic Designer is a perfect solution for everything from simple logos to astonishingly detailed illustrations. If you're working with photos then Photo & Graphic Designer will match your ambitions from simple one click auto-enhance of your photo through to awesome photo compositions. Whatever graphics you need and whatever your skill level, the famously friendly user interface and fast processing of Photo & Graphic Designer will make it an absolute pleasure to be creative.

- speedy graphics editing and a time-saver
- easy to work with
- ability of Adobe Photoshop PSD import and export
- Animated Flash Export
