Matting problem with Expression 2.4 files

[ivan louette]

Hello,

has anybody a solution to this stupid problem? While I export a tiff file with an alpha channel from Expression and re-import it in Xara X I have this stupid matting to black (2). But if exported without alpha all works well (1).

Am I wrong with some settings in Expression???

The only workaround I know is opening the file in PS and inverting the Alpha channel. Not only that was the most important reason why I don't use Expression but the most scandalous is that E2 exported good PSD with alpha channel which I was able to open correctly in Fireworks and now with E2.4 all is wrong!

And I never received any reply from Expression about this problem.

Thanks for any advices!
