The Xara Picture Editor also features non-destructive editing and 'magic' undo. XPE keeps track of the original version of your photos and uses this master image as the source for all edits. This prevents the quality from deteriorating from multiple edit and save operations that would normally degrade a JPEG image. The undo feature also remembers all editing operations, allowing you to revert or change them, even after saving and closing the image.
I wasn't terribly impressed with the red-eye tool in XPE, but for most images it'll do the job.
In Xara Xtreme 4, the integrated Photo Tool was added, so now you no longer have to open photos in the picture editor to perform most editing functions. The Photo Tool allows you to crop, rotate, create panoramas, and adjust levels, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and blur. All edits are applied non-destructively within the program. The Picture Editor is still included, and launches when the red eye option is chosen from the Photo Tool. In addition, MAGIX Xtreme Photo Designer is also included with Xara Xtreme.
