Features:

Selective Optimization
In mask mode you can select and edit image areas (so-called object mask), while the rest of the image remains unchanged.
Intensify colors of individual image elements, create dynamic color gradients, recolor the sky in landscape photographs or create graduated effects.

Magic Erase
Simply highlight the object you want to remove, click ‘magic erase’ and the unwanted object is automatically replaced with pixels sampled from the photo, with incredibly seamless results.
You will hardly be able to produce faster or more precise results with standard cloning methods offered in other image editing programs, or only with much time and effort*.
You will be amazed! This new and powerful auto clone tool is perfectly suited for many creative purposes.

Photo Synthesis
With the manual clone tool, you can remove selected image areas by copying/moving other sections into the free area using the mouse.
Hardly any group photo features everyone looking their best; someone always has their eyes closed, is looking away, or is smiling strangely. If this is the case, simply combine the best parts of multiple group photos and create a perfect one!
Create creative collages and arrange persons in front of a new background. It's perfect for creating unique invitations, greeting cards, and gifts for friends.

Zoom & Scaling
Change image width & height without distorting important image content (""content-aware rescaling""). Important outlines, structures, and shapes – e.g. persons – are automatically recognized and remain unchanged (manual protection is possible, too). The rest of the image can be made smaller or larger, without stretching or squashing protected elements.
The intelligent zoom enables a central subject to be zoomed from the back into the front, without changing the format or distorting the photo, since important image content can be protected. This keeps all of the details of the background intact, which certainly isn't the case with cropping

Creative Effects
Over 50 creative effects allow you to transform everyday photos into small works of art:
Painting, pencil drawing, canvas, crayon, pastel, wrinkled, television, fisheye, newspaper, waveform, shutters, and much more.
Turn pictures into individually customizable graphics. The integrated ""Bitmap Tracer"" vectorizes image files into lines and shapes that you can edit freely. It's also ideal for logos and digital photo art.

Design Templates
Use over 500 individually customizable templates for photo albums, calendars, invitations, brochures, greetings cards, vouchers, flyers, certificates, business cards, CD covers & labels, letterhead, picture frames, poetry albums, wedding scrapbooks, and much more.
Or you can illustrate documents and design your own logos using more than 2,500 vector graphic objects (clip art items). You can customize all colors and properties and, if desired, use only individual elements for further editing.
NEW! Over 100 photo clip art items with transparent background from different subject areas (nature, people, technology, food & drink, etc.).

Illustrate, Draw & Pain
Enjoy next-generation graphic design throughout the entire process thanks to diverse drawing tools for freehand drawing (brush), shapes, graduated colors, fills, transitions, contour and relief effects, and easy drag & drop handling. Users with artistic ambition can use Xara Photo & Graphic Designer to turn demanding design ideas into a reality.
Discover numerous vector drawing instruments and support features. Automatically smooth wobbly lines drawn freehand.
Add shadows to graphics, images, and text or arrange them transparently. The intensity of the transparency may be easily adjusted with a slider. Even transparency gradients may be created in a flash.
Create color gradients, rainbow effects, or metamorphoses between objects of any shape or size that may be edited in detail regarding aspects such as the number, gradient, or alignment of individual color values.
