With version
4, Webstyle has progressed even further to make it an indispensable
tool for web page and graphical content generation.
We've
added a host of powerful new features since version 3.1 that
will enable you to make your web sites even better.
New
Web Page object type
Now you're
no longer restricted to making web graphics and inserting
them into your web site yourself - you can create complete
web pages already containing your graphics.
In Webstyle
4, web pages are just another template group - so the process
is simple:
1. Browse
through the designs available until you find one you like.
2. Choose from a number of different page layouts based on
that design.
3. Edit the theme colors of the web page design.
4. Edit the individual graphic elements, including the NavBar
buttons, menus and links.
5. Export the complete page including graphics.

Smart copying of theme elements across themed web pages
Webstyle
makes it simple to copy changes from one layout to another,
such as NavBars and menus, logos and colors. So once you have
created your first page, it can take just minutes to produce
a complete site with consistently themed pages. Creating a
professional looking site has never been easier!
Photo
album builder and web page album type
In Webstyle
3 we gave you the chance to edit and enhance your digital
photos - and now you can make them into fully-functioning
photo albums to use in your website.
You can
have as many albums are you like, with as many photos as you
like, display them in any order with titles and captions.
And we provide album page layouts to match all of Webstyle's
page designs.
As usual,
we've taken the pain out of the process by making it as simple
to use as possible. To make a photo album, all you have to
do is:
1. Load
your photos into Webstyle 4's Photo Album maker.
2. Edit, enhance, crop, or resize your photos if required.
3. Arrange the order of your photos, add titles and captions,
choose thumbnail and pop-ups settings.
4. Choose your album page design and save the page.
Use Webstyle 4's Album Maker to edit and enhance your photos,
then create thumbnail photo galleries for your web site.

Photo Albums
Master
file editing of photos
With other
photo software, each time you load and save a photo it becomes
more distorted and gradually deteriorates. Webstyle retains
a memory of the original master file and every time you alter
the image, even if you load a processed or 'after' image,
it actually performs the requested operation using the original
master.
This even
allows you to perform 'miracles' such as to load a cropped
.JPG photo, no matter how long ago you produced it, and then
'un-crop' and restore the removed parts of your picture (assuming
your master image is available on your file system somewhere).
This also means there is no cumulative distortion or deterioration,
no matter how many times you load and edit your photos. You
can even load an old JPEG photo and undo any changes you made.
Do that with any other software!
New
in Webstyle 4: The Photo Editor within Webstyle 4 continues
to work after the end of the 15 day trial, making the Webstyle
4 trial itself an essential tool for every webmaster wanting
to add photos to their website.
Many new templates and designs
Webstyle
4 includes all the graphical resources of version 3.1 and
Template Pack 1 - plus a collection of completely new customizable
web page designs/themesets.
New
'my colors' way of applying colors to graphics
When changing
a color in a design, it's now possible to take a color you've
used before in a previous project and copy it to your current
design. This allows you to retain consistency between designs
and it's a great time saver.
Automatic
detection, download and install of new templates and designs
Webstyle
4 makes it easy to view any new designs right within the program,
and download and install them as they become available. Webstyle
automatically checks the Xara servers at intervals to determine
whether there are new designs and templates available.
Extended
compatibility
Webstyle
4 integration will now work with Microsoft FrontPage 2003
and Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004. The NavBar menus now support
Opera 7(PC), Mozilla(Apple Mac) and Safari(Apple Mac), in
addition to the browsers already supported in version 3.
User
interface enhancements
A slicker
UI in some areas, in response to user requests and suggestions
- such as a more intuitive projects feature, extra pop-up
help, improved import process and completely revised HTML
help.
