Press Release Summary: Xara announced today a new release of Xara Xtreme and Xara
Xtreme Pro, the World\'s fastest graphics program. But it\'s not only the speed that
makes Xara Xtreme so popular, as it has pioneered many of the graphics technologies
used in the industry today.

Press Release Body: Favored by many professional designers for its slick workflow,
Xara Xtreme is priced to be within the reach of all computer users. Its versatility
makes it ideal for everything from graphic design tasks, DTP style documents, a wide
range of photo handling tasks, website graphics and now complete website creation.

New features include:
- Ultra-fast non-destructive photo editing features, 10 times faster and resulting
in files 10 times smaller, than other graphics tools
- Panoramic stitching of images
- Real-time, fully shaded, 3D extrude
- Multi-core support. An average of 40% faster and up to 80% faster on dual-core
processors (Xtreme Pro only)
- WYSIWYG website creation. Supports free-form web page design, \'anything anywhere\'
and advanced features such as text flow around shapes, mouse-over effects, pop-ups
and more
- Real-time \'flow around\' text repelling
- More than a dozen other new features and improvements.

Charles Moir, Managing Director of Xara Group Ltd said \"The truly spectacular
performance of the new photo handling, plus the fact it\'s completely
non-destructive, moves us into new territory. The 3D extrude is simply gorgeous and,
of course, faster and more slick than on any other tool. The website creation
feature has been described as a significantly useful feature by beta testers.\"

\"Xara Xtreme was always the fastest graphics tool around, but with availability of
multi-core processors, users of Xara Xtreme Pro can now take advantage of these
processors for maximum performance. And with the support of our parent company,
Magix AG, we\'re making the product available in multiple languages for the first
time\", he added.

Xara Xtreme and Xtreme Pro are probably the most powerful, versatile graphics
software, at a price to suit anyone\'s pocket. Xara Xtreme retails for only $89 and
Xtreme Pro is only $249 (plus VAT in Europe).
