This post is completely biased, so please watch your step..

I work for Xara Ltd who develop CorelXARA for the Corel Corporation.
CorelXARA is a vector package much like CorelDRAW but is ideal
for creating on screen images as it has inbuilt high-quality
anti-aliasing and it's own rendering engine. It also includes support
for graduated transparent on all objects (including bitmaps) so
it's very easy to product photorealistic effects with it.

If your document is likely to end up being viewed on-screen
(e.g. WinHelp or WWW), you may find CorelXARA a good
option.

For more information, our WWW site is at http://www.xara.com/

Feel free to fire any questions at me. Apologies for blatantly advertising
I hope you can forgive me, I think this will be of use to some.

Regards,

Ollie.
