vector image

**greenmama** · 16 February 2009, 02:12 PM

thanks to those who helped me with last post on how to upload image to my template. I'm having problems still because image is too big and it's blurry and colors are dull compared to the original vector image download I purchased. Is this something that has to be adjusted in Xara before I export or can I fix once I upload to template. I got the image from Shutterstock and I'm using Artisteer for creating template. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi
Maybe you can show us your image so we can see what is being done wrong ? You purchased some thing in a vector format ? Is it .ai ? It is hard to say what you are doing wrong with some more information on what you are doing. Lets us know a little more and we will be glad to help.

thanks Bruce. Sorry for lack of info. I have an active 19 month old so it doesn't leave much time to type and think.

I can't get image to paste but here is the link to it.

Hi , ok , I can see the image. You have bought a vector copy of this and now you have it opened in xtreme and are trying to export a good looking bitmap. Is that correct ?
I would export this as a gif or png. at 256 colors. Then it should be good quality and bright colors. Does this help any ?

How are you bringing the vector image into Xtreme?

And is the image still a vector or has it come in as a bitmap?

If you switch to outline view (Window > Quality > Outlines) and all you see is a rectangle, then the image has been converted into a bitmap and if that is the case this could explain the fuzziness problem.
