Comparison of Designer Pro+ & Designer Pro X
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
> How can I get access to Designer Pro+? Where can I download it?
> What is the concept behind Xara Cloud+?
We do love Xara Cloud but we also love Xara Desktop. That’s why we’ve
decided to combine the two products for a creativity workflow without
limits.
In order to download Designer Pro+ you need to sign-in or sign-up to a Xara
Cloud account. Once you are there, you can download it from the Company
Admin Panel in Xara Cloud. To find out how to go there, have a look here.
> Can I run Designer Pro+ next to Designer Pro X?
Yes, you can install Designer Pro+ next to Designer Pro X.
Both programs run independently from each other.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
> What project types of Designer Pro+ can I use with Xara Cloud?
Every single one. Xara Cloud is able to process every Xara Desktop project (xar-file)
no matter how complex it is - even website projects. The same also applies the
other way round: Xara Cloud projects are stored as xar-files, which can be
processed by Designer Pro+.
To find out how to transfer designs between Designer Pro+ to Xara Cloud, see here
> What happens to Designer Pro + if I do not renew my Xara Cloud+ subscription?
As long as you have saved your documents on your local machine or to the cloud
storage you can always access them with the Free plan of Xara Cloud. However,
you will no longer be able to edit your documents in Designer Pro+.
Libraries/ Tools which have been removed

common perspective effects of photos.
