MAGIX presents MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer 2 with new advanced functionality. This innovative combination of intuitive photo editing with integrated graphic design and creative templates is perfect for all home and commercial use. MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer 2 is ideal for creating high-quality printing projects (home desktop publishing) and exporting to the Internet in exacting quality.

Main Features

Image editing, graphics & website creation together in one programme
Plenty of creative options (e.g. “liquid colours”, photo to graphic conversion)
Over 1000 individually adjustable templates for photo albums, calendars, invitations, greeting and business cards, advertising & office material, stickers, brochures, logos, signs, labels, menus, certificates, CD/DVD covers & labels, and much more

The second version of MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer 2 brings together intuitive, logical and optimized photo design options Every graphics function and the most important image editing functions can now be operated directly from the same interface in real time. This has the advantage that photos can also be edited with graphics tools, e.g. photos can be painted and written on directly. Image editing is now also possible for additional formats, for example RAW, and output material is not touched (non-destructive editing). There is a new editing function especially for faces which makes the photos more radiant, reduces wrinkles and brightens smiles, and otherwise improves facial expressions.

After editing, photos can be enriched further with 250 complete templates, each of which can be individually customized. 1000 pieces of clipart complete your unique photo design project. This also applies to day-to-day printed creations like photo albums, calendars, invitations, greeting and business cards, advertising and office materials, CD/DVD covers and labels, and now even real estate prospects and collectors’ albums. These can also be exported in the correct formats, e.g. EPS, for professional developers.

For Internet presentations and information brochures in PDF format, MAGIX Xtreme Photo & Graphic Designer 2 offers importing, all graphics editing options, and export functions. Whether online, PDF, or print, special effects turn graphically embedded photos into professional designs. Three-dimensional text or shapes can be created with a click, and then set to rotate and be illuminated with light and shadows in real time. Text can also be set to flow around shapes with only a few clicks.
