    Mike,

    "and the Tif LZW compression sucks)
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Hello
    Standay said"

    You've got the wrong attribution on that TIF compression comment, I was quoting Paul's opinion about tif compression (see his message further up the list). While I'd like multiple pages and CMYK output, my comment to his TIF statement was that "I don't have any opinion on the TIF compression, I rarely export TIF files." I will occasionally use TIF when I want to import into PageMaker, as it seems to "like" TIFs, but my most common export format is transparent GIF.

    I didn't want to leave the impression I don't like TIF format!

    Well everything here is all true about Xara, the software that spoils you for anything else.. I still like using 2 and will sometime soon upgrade to X.

    The most pertinent comment though belongs to Gary: "..i keep my german beer belly in check every time i work with a macromedia product.. "


    Freehand for example, has the ability to turn what appears to be a quick and simple design exercise into a nightmare. When life seems too good and easy, I use only Freudhand until I truly remember the truism "no gain without pain".


    Xara makes me too soft. What I need sometimes is a workout.. (turn that exercycle right up to the red line..)

    Yep, it was I who complained about the tif compression. And I just also compaired the LZW compression with both Photoshop and XaraX - and to my surprise it gave just about the same result (filesizes). [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

    AMOF I had a poster job a while ago where the filesizes of Xara and PS LZW TIF:s differed quite a lot. I also mentioned it in this discussion group at that time.
    Oh well, I guess I have to take back the critisism about the LZW part.

    Hello

    Apologies to Stan.

    If XaraX tifs are larger, it it usually because of anti-aliasing on the edge pixels.
    This can turned off using the quality slider.
