Xara Xtreme's integrated photo tool can handle all the most common photo requirements, such as control over brightness, sharpness and color saturation (including a one-click auto enhance option) photo panoramas and red eye removal.

However Xtreme also offers the ability to select an external photo editor - whether it's one of the two bundled options (Xara Picture Editor and MAGIX Xtreme Photo Designer or any external editor such as Corel Paintshop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. What's more, Xtreme monitors the photo file being edited, and detects when it's updated by the photo editor and then re-imports it back into Xtreme - and that means you can continue to have your photo editor open while working on the drawing in Xtreme. So whenever the image file is updated in your photo editor (when you click Save) your drawing is updated showing you the updated picture in context.
