Thanks! Just finally getting into using brushes as I'm taking up "painting". Pretty cool all the possibilities like clouds, trees, waves that had me stumped before. Here's my latest amateur work.

Ah yes, thank you very much! I forget about convert line to shape and use convert to editable shapes which doesn't work on lines.
I have created some "clouds" using a custom brush. The top/green object in the attached file acts as a line as it was drawn. The bottom/blue cloud is a bunch of separate shapes (ctrl-click to select...
Ah! No, color depth was not set to True Color + Alpha. Had no idea that would affect this.
Thank you, Gary! Have a great weekend, amigo.
When trying to export a png file with transparent background, the "transparent" option is grayed out / not available. I have used this in the past but not working now for some reason. Any...
Wow, did you have a stop over in Chicago?
Wow, so you were in Detroit for the big fun, and then on to another theater. What a trip. I've been here for 12 years intending to assist with redevelopment, but it's so politicized as to be...
Good point, I will try it out. Have a good day!
I resolved it, thanks for the input.
I use Xara as a peripheral tool, but are there strong reasons to upgrade to to the latest version?
I installed Xara PGD on a new machine. The PDF functionality worked fine on my other computer.
When exporting multi-page file to PDF from Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6, it exports an individual file for each page and I cannot find a setting to save to one file. Does anyone know where I might...
Thank you. I just saw your post after I made mine and the screen refreshed.
I solved it, the program was in full screen mode.
The main menu bar (the one with "file" etc.) is not visible in Xara Photo & Graphic Designer. Can someone please tell me how to reopen it?
Yes, I did both.
Hello,
When I choose the 'select' tool, it is acting strangely. If I am hovering over an object, it will function as intended, but if I move off the object and try to 'outline' multiple objects...
Yes, this did work, thanks. Not sure of jpg format or how to determine that (graphic design is peripheral to my main work), but even new ones created from Xara yesterday were not opening. Anyway,...
When I try to open any .jpg file in Xara PGD, I get the message: Unable to find the filter to open that file with.
This problem just started today after opening thousands of jpegs in the past.

yep, lesson learned. thing is i've never had a corruption issue with xara, so i got complacent. thanks for your help. i'll try xara support.
a really strange thing is that the last backup is over a month old, way before this problem occurred, and the backup has the same error. i don't know if it was referencing a .jpg i deleted or...
thanks for the tip. unfortunately i get the same message when trying to open the backup.
hello,
i am using Xara PGD on Windows7. when trying to open a certain (important) file, i get: "A read error occurred (unknown) with the file: c:\... .xar".
the file was having an "unknown...
thank you all for your help. alt w did the trick. fn8 had no effect on my machine. all best, g
I am using a laptop with no numeric keypad. Pressing the 8 I have has no effect.
Thanks for your reply. I do not see "Window" or have a control bar menu - I think those are part of the toolbar I am missing. I have nothing but icons, no Text in the two toolbars that are open. ...
