Exporting a Photoshop PSD file
Photoshop is a bitmap editor, so when exporting to PSD format all the vector objects in Xara Xtreme Pro 5 are rasterized. You can select the resolution (dpi) when exporting.
Always save your work in Xara Xtreme Pro 5 prior to exporting. Then, if you wish to alter your original objects in the future, just load Xara Xtreme Pro 5, make any changes and then export the required objects again.
To export as a PSD file choose "File -> Export" then select Adobe Photoshop in the Save as Type list.
Layers
Layers in Xara Xtreme Pro 5 are retained when exporting to PSD format. Each layer is rasterized as a separate PSD layer, including layer names. Layers visibility is also passed through, so layers set to invisible in Xara Xtreme Pro 5 will be exported and set to invisible in Photoshop. You can turn the layers on and off in Photoshop using the Layers palette.

Importing a Photoshop PSD file
To import a PSD file, import the file as normal with File > Import, or just drag and drop the .psd file into Xara Xtreme Pro 5.
Attention: Only Xara Xtreme Pro can import PSD files with 16bit colors or CMYK color model
The layers in the PSD file, and the layer visibility setting will be preserved and will become Xara Xtreme Pro 5 layers. You can view them by opening the Object Gallery.
The Photoshop blend modes Normal, Multiply and Screen are compatible with the equivalent Xara Xtreme Pro 5 transparency types Mix, Stain and Bleach and will remain editable in Xara Xtreme Pro 5 using the Transparency Tool.
Photoshop calls it Opacity, but it's the same thing as Transparency (just the other way around), i.e. a 90% opacity value in Photoshop becomes a 10% transparency setting in Xara Xtreme Pro 5.
Tip: if you have separate objects in Photoshop that you wish to be able to move and change independently of one another in Xara Xtreme Pro 5, place them on separate layers in Photoshop before exporting.
