We mention some of the key new features of V5 below, and of course you can find full information on xara.com. Plus there's a demo site created in Xara Xtreme at xtreme.xara.com (which also serves as an intro to the new web features). And you can follow Gary Priester's preview from his excellent Xara Xone website, which is our featured tutorial this month.
We have an introductory offer on upgrades from V4 which ends on July 31st - so don't delay too long!
It's not all about Xtreme this month. We're often asked about the products of our parent company MAGIX and so we've included a new feature introducing some of their products. On that note, German readers will be pleased to hear that MAGIX Xtreme Foto & Graphic Designer 5 has been launched today, more below.
Finally a big thank you to all the people who have entered the contest to win a place in Gary Bouton's upcoming guide to Xtreme 5. There were a record number of entries but the judges are working their way through them all, and we'll have the result in next month's issue along with a brand new quarterly contest.

PC Explorer reviews Web Designer
"Putting websites together and combining text and images really is as simple as editing a document in a word processor." Computeractive reviews Web Designer "Excellent page design tools, easy fill and transparency tools."  Don't forget that you can find all back issues of the Outsider on our website at xara.com/outsider Easy Symbols Xtreme and Web Designer have some very handy shortcuts for common symbols: Ctrl+Alt+C for ©, +R for ®, +T for ™ and +B for a • bullet. Double click to select the right tool In Web Designer and Xtreme 5, double clicking on an object in the Selector Tool will select the object and switch into an appropriate tool. e.g. double click on a text object - and it selects the text tool (and places the caret where you just clicked). Double click on a photo and it goes into the Photo Tool. Double click on a rectangle and it goes into the Rectangle tool.

And an introduction by XaraXhris to Content Aware Scaling, the clever new photo feature in Xtreme 5.
