Besides its highly efficient operation, it functions not only as a graphics program, but also as image processor with numerous functions for editing photos and drawings, integrating graphics functions and image processing in powerful ways.

Xara Xtreme has been available as commercial product for MS Windows for some time, but it has also been released as source code for builds on Linux systems. Binary installation packages are available here. For more information see here.
