Hello,

I am in the middle of a book project for a customer. It is a collection of text and photographs spanning about 100 pages all laid out in in Xara. I was initially skeptical about taking on...

Gary,

I am doing a quick test run of your idea to use ARRANGE and REPEAT ON ALL PAGES to insert the page numbers. It is working fine, but I am laying the book out using a double page spread so the...

Looking at the VIEW tab under PAGE OPTIONS I am thinking I should probably check the box for "import at dpi specified in the image file", right?

Kurt

Thanks so much for all of the feedback. I feel more confident now about this project. My client (a photographer) will be arriving with all of his images as high resolution TIFF files. He is a bit...

Hello,

I have been out of the forums for a while and am glad to see so much helpful info here again.

I have a client coming on Thursday to begin work on a short book project. It is a collection...

My question about the grid was referring to the blue lines and no the red guides we were speaking about earlier. Anyway, for some reason the grid was set at 50cm spacing and that is why they could...

Thanks so much for the responses. The guide lines worked like a charm! This will be a huge help for future projects.

On another note, I can't get my grid to turn on. I go to WINDOW>SHOW GRID but...

Hello,

I have 6 imported jpegs which are all exactly 175 x 175 pixels. I am trying to align them up with each other so that the 6 images build a single rectangle - 3 across the top and 3 across...

I think that might work. It is PDF specific, but that is my preferred output format anyway. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I am using a company called Modern Postcard for marketing postcards for some clients. On they website they recommend loading a CMYK printer profile that they supply to make sure that the colors I ma...

Hello,

I haven't been keeping up on the forum due to workload so sorry if this has been asked before.

When I first heard about XE4 and the HTML export I jumped right on the upgrade. A lot of...

Daniel and Miguel B,

Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me. This is already more information than I had expected to receive!

Miguel, after you have optimized your settings in Xara to...

Hello,

I have been using Xara Xtreme for all of my web graphics for about a year now. I love it for that type of work. Now I have been doing some research on actually designing complete web...

Yes, indeed. At least now I don't feel like I am doing anything wrong. I think I am squeezing as much quality out as possible.

Thanks everyone.

Kurt

At 256 I'm down to 35kb which is fine in my book. For some images 256 doesn't give me enough quality though...

Would converting all elements (including imported jpegs) to editable shapes BEFORE exporting to PNG make the file smaller? Why don't I just give that a try...

Kurt

Thanks for the feedback so far. Sorry, I should have been more specific about dimensions and file size.

Well, my latest header was 790X180 pixels and exported to 100kb at the highest PNG setting....

Hello,

I use Xara Xtreme to put together headers for my web projects. These are usually a mix of text and imported jpeg images on a solid background. I have found that I get best results with the...

Everything back to normal. Thank you very much!

Kurt

I recently checked if my Xara Xtreme Pro Movie help files were up-to-date and I was told there were new movies to download. When the download finished, I opened my movies and was surprised to see...

I'm finding this thread very interesting and the vector magic and conversion to PDF are working well for me, but what exactly are people doing with these traces? Maybe a silly question, but what are...

Joel,

I just finished a short book in Xara which came out great and I also do all of my webs design graphics work in Xara. A mix of text, graphics and photos. The things you listed are all things...

Thanks for the TinySpell idea. I will give it a try. Here is the link for anyone wishing to check into it more:

John,

Does this also work with multi-page documents? When I select "Insert new blank page" is there any way to select a copied page (with guidelines in place as you suggested) or maybe a template...

Hello again,

I just got the finished book back from the printer and it came out just as I wanted. Xara just makes it so easy to move text, images and graphics around that it seemed perfect for...
